Variety Proverbs 12v22-28

²² The Lord detests lying lips,
but he delights in people who are trustworthy.

²³ The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves,
but a fool’s heart blurts out folly.

²⁴ Diligent hands will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labour.

²⁵ Anxiety weighs down the heart,
but a kind word cheers it up.

²⁶ The righteous choose their friends carefully,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.

²⁷ The lazy do not roast any game,
but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt.

²⁸ In the way of righteousness there is life;
along that path is immortality.
