Proverbs 12:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ Worry makes the heart heavy.
    But a kind word cheers it up.

²⁶ Godly people are careful about the friends they choose.
    But the way of sinners leads them down the wrong path.

²⁷ Lazy people do not even cook what they catch.
    But those who work hard eat their fill of what is hunted.
