Proverbs 12:24-28

Darby Translation

²⁴ The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful [hand] shall be under tribute.

²⁵ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad.

²⁶ The righteous guideth his neighbour; but the way of the wicked misleadeth them.

²⁷ The slothful roasteth not what he took in hunting; but man's precious substance is to the diligent.

²⁸ In the path of righteousness is life, and in the pathway thereof there is no death.
