Proverbs 14:22-24

Young's Literal Translation

²²Do not they err who are devising evil? And kindness and truth [are] to those devising good,

²³In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips [is] only to want.

²⁴The crown of the wise is their wealth, The folly of fools [is] folly.

Proverbs 14:22-24

But those who plan what is good find^[a] love and faithfulness.

²³All hard work brings a profit,
but mere talk leads only to poverty.

²⁴The wealth of the wise is their crown,
but the folly of fools yields folly.^(B)
