Proverbs 12:26-28

International Standard Version

²⁶The righteous person is cautious with respect to his neighbor,
but the lifestyle of the wicked leads them astray.

²⁷The lazy person does not roast what he has hunted,
but diligence is one’s most important possession.

²⁸In the pathway to righteousness there is life,
and in that lifestyle there is no death.
