Proverbs 12:24-28

Tree of Life Version

²⁴ The hand of the diligent will rule,
but the lazy will become forced labor.
²⁵ An anxious heart weighs one down,
but a good word cheers him up.
²⁶ The righteous gives his friend guidance,
but the way of the wicked leads astray.
²⁷ A lazy person does not roast his game,
but a diligent person prizes his possessions.
²⁸ In the path of righteousness is life—
it is a path to immortality.
