Proverbs 12:23-25
Contemporary English Version

23 Be sensible and don't tell
    everything you know—
only fools spread
    foolishness everywhere.

24 Work hard, and you
    will be a leader;
be lazy, and you
    will end up a slave.
25 Worry is a heavy burden,
but a kind word
    always brings cheer.
