Proverbs 12:21-28
[21]Nothing bad happens to righteous people, but the wicked have nothing but trouble.
[22]The Lord hates liars, but is pleased with those who keep their word.
[23]Sensible people keep quiet about what they know, but stupid people advertise their ignorance.
[24]Hard work will give you power; being lazy will make you a slave.
[25]Worry can rob you of happiness, but kind words will cheer you up.
[26]The righteous person is a guide to his friend, but the path of the wicked leads them astray.
[27]If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after, but if you work hard, you will get a fortune.
[28]Righteousness is the road to life; wickedness is the road to death.
