Proverbs 12:24-26

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁴ The hand of the diligent shall bear rule:
    but the slothful shall be under tribute.

²⁵ Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop:
    but a good word maketh it glad.

²⁶ The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour:
    but the way of the wicked seduceth them.
