Proverbs 12:22

Truth’s lips will be established forever,

but a lying tongue is only momentary.

Deceit is in the heart of those who plot evil,

but joy comes to the promoters of peace.

No mischief shall happen to the righteous,

but the wicked shall be filled with evil.

A prudent man keeps his knowledge,

but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,

but laziness ends in slave labor.

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down,

but a kind word makes it glad.
