Proverbs 12:22-24
Lexham English Bible

22 An abomination of Yahweh are lips of deceit,
    but they who act faithfully are his delight.
23 A clever person conceals knowledge,
    but the heart[a] of a fool[b] announces folly.
24 The hand of the diligent ones will rule,
    but the lazy will belong to forced labor.
