Proverbs 14:22-24

Lexham English Bible

²² Have they not erred, those who plan evil?
    But loyalty and faithfulness belong to those who plan good.
²³ In all toil, there is profit,
    but the talk^[a] of lips leads only to poverty.
²⁴ The crown of the wise is their wealth;
    the folly of fools is folly.
