Proverbs 12:20-24 Modern English Version (MEV)

20. Deceit is in the heart of those who imagine evil,but to the counselors of peace is joy.

21. There will no evil happen to the just,but the wicked will be filled with mischief.

22. Lying lips are abomination to the Lord,but those who deal truly are His delight.

23. A prudent man conceals knowledge,but the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.

24. The hand of the diligent will rule,but the slothful will be put to forced labor.
