Proverbs 12:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but an encouraging word makes it glad.^(A)

²⁶ The [consistently] righteous man is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked causes others to go astray.

²⁷ The slothful man does not catch his game or roast it once he kills it, but the diligent man gets precious possessions.
