Proverbs 12:25-27

New Living Translation

²⁵ Worry weighs a person down;
    an encouraging word cheers a person up.

²⁶ The godly give good advice to their friends;^[a]
    the wicked lead them astray.

²⁷ Lazy people don’t even cook the game they catch,
    but the diligent make use of everything they find.
