21There shall no evil happen to a righteous man; but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.
22Lying lips are an abomination to Jehovah; but they that deal truly are his delight.
23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of the foolish proclaimeth folly.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful hand shall be under tribute.
25Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop; but a good word maketh it glad.
