Proverbs 14:22-24

New International Reader's Version

²² Those who plan evil go down the wrong path.
    But those who plan good find love and truth.

²³ All hard work pays off.
    But if all you do is talk, you will be poor.

²⁴ The wealth of wise people is their crown.
    But the foolish ways of foolish people lead to what is foolish.
