Proverbs 12:22-28

Proverbs 12:22-28 CSB

Lying lips are detestable to the  Lord,  but faithful people are his delight.  A shrewd person conceals knowledge, but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.  The diligent hand will rule, but laziness will lead to forced labor.  Anxiety in a person’s heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up.  A righteous person is careful in dealing with his neighbor,  but the ways of the wicked lead them astray.  A lazy hunter doesn’t roast his game,  but to a diligent person, his wealth is precious.  There is life in the path of righteousness, and in its path there is no death.  ,
