²⁶ The righteous is a guide to his neighbor;
But the way of the wicked causeth them to err.
^27 [a]The slothful man ^[b]roasteth not that which he took in hunting;
But the precious substance of men ^[c]is to the diligent.
²⁸ In the way of righteousness is life;
And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
