Kazi zote zinazofanywa kwa bidii huleta faida, bali mazungumzo matupu huelekea umaskini tu.
Proverbs 14:23 in English
Proverbs 14:23 · Berean Standard Bible
There is profit in all labor, but mere talk leads only to poverty.
Context
21Yeye anayemdharau jirani yake hutenda dhambi,
bali amebarikiwa yeye aliye na huruma kwa mhitaji. 22Je, wale wanaopanga ubaya hawapotoki?
Bali wale wanaopanga kilicho chema
hupata upendo na uaminifu. 23Kazi zote zinazofanywa kwa bidii huleta faida,
bali mazungumzo matupu huelekea umaskini tu. 24Utajiri wa wenye hekima ni taji yao,
bali upumbavu wa wapumbavu huzaa upumbavu. 25Shahidi wa kweli huokoa maisha,
bali shahidi wa uongo ni mdanganyifu.
