Proverbs 12:24-28

The hand
<03027>

of the diligent
<02742>

shall bear rule
<04910> (8799)_:

but the slothful
<07423>

shall be under tribute
<04522>_.

{slothful: or, deceitful}

Heaviness
<01674>

in the heart
<03820>

of man
<0376>

maketh it stoop
<07812> (8686)_:

but a good
<02896>

word
<01697>

maketh it glad
<08055> (8762)_.

The righteous
<06662>

[is] more excellent
<08446> (8686)

than his neighbour
<07453>_:

but the way
<01870>

of the wicked
<07563>

seduceth
<08582> (8686)

them. {excellent: or, abundant}

The slothful
<07423>

[man] roasteth
<02760> (8799)

not that which he took in hunting
<06718>_:

but the substance
<01952>

of a diligent
<02742>

man
<0120>

[is] precious
<03368>_.

In the way
<0734>

of righteousness
<06666>

[is] life
<02416>_;

and [in] the pathway
<05410> <01870>

[thereof there is] no death
<04194>_.
