Proverbs 12:12, 24-28

Proverbs 12:12 ESV

Whoever is wicked covets the spoil of evildoers, but the root of the righteous bears fruit.

Proverbs 12:24-28 ESV

The hand of the diligent will rule, while the slothful will be put to forced labor. Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs him down, but a good word makes him glad. One who is righteous is a guide to his neighbor, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth. In the path of righteousness is life, and in its pathway there is no death.
