Proverbs 12:22-24
Amplified Bible
22
Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the Lord,
But those who deal faithfully are His delight.(A)
23
A shrewd man is reluctant to display his knowledge [until the proper time],
But the heart of [over-confident] fools proclaims foolishness.(B)
24
The hand of the diligent will rule,
But the negligent and lazy will be put to forced labor.
