Proverbs 12:12, 24-28

The wicked desireth the net of evil men; But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.

The hand of the diligent shall bear rule; But the slothful shall be put under taskwork. Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop; But a good word maketh it glad. The righteous is a guide to his neighbor; But the way of the wicked causeth them to err. The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting; But the precious substance of men is to the diligent. In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
