Proverbs 12:25
Berean Standard Bible
Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.
Context
23A shrewd man keeps his knowledge to himself,
but a foolish heart proclaims its folly. 24The hand of the diligent will rule,
but laziness ends in forced labor. 25Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man,
but a good word cheers it up. 26A righteous man is cautious in friendship,
but the ways of the wicked lead them astray. 27A lazy man does not roast his game,
but a diligent man prizes his possession.
