Proverbs 12:25-28 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

25. Anxiety in a man's heart weighs it down, But a good word makes it glad.

26. The righteous is a guide to his neighbor, But the way of the wicked leads them astray.

27. A lazy man does not roast his prey, But the precious possession of a man is diligence.

28. In the way of righteousness is life, And in its pathway there is no death.
