Proverbs 14:23

Proverbs Of Solomon

²² Don’t those who plan evil go astray?
But those who plan good find loyalty and faithfulness. ²³ There is profit in all hard work,
but endless talk leads only to poverty. ²⁴ The crown of the wise is their wealth,
but the foolishness of fools produces foolishness.
