Proverbs 12:22-24
World English Bible

22 Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh,
    but those who do the truth are his delight.
23 A prudent man keeps his knowledge,
    but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.
24 The hands of the diligent ones shall rule,
    but laziness ends in slave labor.
