The King James Version Bible

Proverbs 12:24-27

  1. The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.

  2. Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad.

  3. The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them.

  4. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious.
