Proverbs 12:23-25

Modern English Version

²³ A prudent man conceals knowledge,
    but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

²⁴ The hand of the diligent will rule,
    but the slothful will be put to forced labor.

²⁵ Heaviness in the heart of man makes it droop,
    but a good word makes it glad.
