Amplified Bible
25
Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,
But a good (encouraging) word makes it glad.(A)
26
The righteous man is a guide to his neighbor,
But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27
The lazy man does not catch and roast his prey,
But the precious possession of a [wise] man is diligence [because he recognizes opportunities and seizes them].
