Proverbs 12:23-25
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
23 One who is clever conceals knowledge,
but the mind of a fool[a] broadcasts folly.(A)
24 The hand of the diligent will rule,
while the lazy will be put to forced labor.
25 Anxiety weighs down the human heart,
but a good word cheers it up.(B)
