Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil,
but to the counsellors of peace is joy.
No harm befalls the just,
but the wicked have their fill of trouble.
Lying lips are an abomination to the LORD,
but they that deal truly are his delight.
A prudent man conceals knowledge,
but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
The hand of the diligent shall bear rule,
but the slothful shall be under tribute.
Heaviness in the heart of man makes it stoop,
but a good word makes it glad.
A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
The lazy man does not roast his game,
but the diligent man prizes his possessions.
In the way of righteousness there is life;
along that path is immortality.
