Proverbs 12:26-28

New American Standard Bible

²⁶ The righteous person is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
^27 [a]A lazy person does not ^[b]roast his prey,
But the ^(A)precious possession of a person is diligence.
^28 (B)In the way of righteousness there is life,
And in its pathway there is no death.
