New American Standard Bible (NASB)
Proverbs 12
23 A prudent man conceals knowledge, But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
24 The hand of the diligent will rule, But the slack hand will be put to forced labor.
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.
Proverbs 13
1 A wise son accepts his father’s discipline, But a scoffer does not listen to rebuke.
2 From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5 A righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
