Proverbs 12:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ The hand of the valiant shall bear rule: but that which is slothful, shall be under tribute.

²⁵ Grief in the heart of a man shall bring him low, but with a good word he shall be made glad.

²⁶ He that neglecteth a loss for the sake of a friend, is just: but the way of the wicked shall deceive them.
