Proverbs 12:22-24
International Standard Version

22 Deceitful speech is reprehensible to the Lord,
    but those who act faithfully are his delight.

23 A prudent man keeps what he knows to himself,[a]
    but the hearts of fools shout forth their foolishness.
24 The diligent will take control,
    but the lazy will be put to forced labor.
