Proverbs 14:22-24
International Standard Version
22 Won’t those who plot evil go astray?
But gracious love and truth are for those who plan what is good.
23 In hard work there is always profit,
but too much chattering[a] leads to poverty.
24 The crown of the wise is their wealth,
but the stupidity of fools is just that—stupidity!
