Proverbs 12:23-25
Lexham English Bible

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.
25 Anxiety in the heart[c] of a man will weigh him down,
    but a good word will cheer him.
