Proverbs 12:23-28 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

23. A clever man is concealing knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims folly.

24. The hand of the hard worker rules, But the lazy is put to compulsory labour.

25. Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes him glad.

26. The righteous is a guide to his neighbour, But the way of the wrong leads them astray.

27. The lazy one has no game to roast, But the hard worker prizes his possessions.

28. In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
