Proverbs 12:23-25

International Standard Version

²³ A prudent man keeps what he knows to himself,^[a]
    but the hearts of fools shout forth their foolishness.
²⁴ The diligent will take control,
    but the lazy will be put to forced labor.

²⁵ A person’s anxiety weighs down his heart,
    but an appropriate word is encouraging.
