Proverbs 12:24-28

The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy hand will be put to forced labor.

Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.

The righteous person is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.

A lazy person does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a person is diligence.

In the way of righteousness there is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
