Proverbs 12:22-26
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 12
22Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, But those who deal faithfully are His delight. 23A prudent person conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness. 24The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy hand will be put to forced labor. 25Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad. 26The righteous person is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.King James Version
