Proverbs 12:25-27

New American Standard Bible 1995

^25 (A)Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a ^(B)good word makes it glad.
²⁶ The righteous is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
²⁷ A ^[a]lazy man does not ^[b]roast his prey,
But the ^(C)precious possession of a man is diligence.
