23A prudent man concealeth knowledge; but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; but the slothful shall be under tribute.
25Care in the heart of a man boweth it down; but a good word maketh it glad.
26The righteous is guided by his friend; but the way of the wicked leadeth them astray.
27The slothful man shall not hunt his prey; but the precious substance of men is to be diligent.
