Proverbs 12:21-28
-
21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
-
22 Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.
-
23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
-
24 The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
-
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.
-
26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
-
27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
-
28 In the way of righteousness is life: and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
