Proverbs 12:20-28 NIV

[20] Deceit is in the hearts of those who plot evil, but those who promote peace have joy. [21] No harm overtakes the righteous, but the wicked have their fill of trouble. [22] The LORD detests lying lips, but he delights in people who are trustworthy. [23] The prudent keep their knowledge to themselves, but a fool’s heart blurts out folly. [24] Diligent hands will rule, but laziness ends in forced labor. [25] Anxiety weighs down the heart, but a kind word cheers it up. [26] The righteous choose their friends carefully, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. [27] The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. [28] In the way of righteousness there is life; along that path is immortality.
