23
A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
24
The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.
25
Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, But a good word makes it glad.
26
The righteous should choose his friends carefully, For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27
The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting, But diligence is man's precious possession.
28
In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
