22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, But those who do the truth are his delight.
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge, But the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule, But laziness ends in slave labor.
25 Anxiety in a man`s heart weighs it down, But a kind word makes it glad.
26 The righteous is cautious in friendship, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 The slothful man doesn`t roast his game, But the possessions of diligent men are prized.
28 In the way of righteousness is life; In its path there is no death.
