Proverbs 12:22-24
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
    but those who act faithfully are his delight.
23 A prudent man conceals his knowledge,
    but fools[a] proclaim their folly.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
    while the slothful will be put to forced labor.
