Proverbs 12:25-27

International Standard Version

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

²⁶ The righteous person is cautious with respect to his neighbor,
    but the lifestyle of the wicked leads them astray.

²⁷ The lazy person does not roast what he has hunted,
    but diligence is one’s most important possession.
