Proverbs 14:23-25

EasyEnglish Bible

²³ If you work hard, something good will come.
    But if you only talk about it, you will become poor.
²⁴ For wise people, their riches are like a crown of honour.
    But fools only work to get foolish things.
²⁵ Someone who speaks the truth in court may save a life.
    But someone who always tells lies deceives everyone.
