Proverbs 12:23-25

International Children’s Bible

²³ A wise person keeps what he knows to himself.
    But a foolish person shows how foolish he is.

²⁴ Hard workers will become leaders.
    But those who are lazy will be slaves.

²⁵ Worry makes a person feel as if he is carrying a heavy load.
    But a kind word cheers up a person.
