Proverbs 12:24-27
-
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.
