Proverbs 12:22-24
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

22 Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord,
    but those who act faithfully are his delight.(A)
23 One who is clever conceals knowledge,
    but the mind of a fool[a] broadcasts folly.(B)
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
    while the lazy will be put to forced labor.
