Proverbs 12:25 in Context — Proverbs 12

23 O homem prudente é discreto em conhecimento; mas o coração dos tolos proclama a loucura.

24 A mão dos que trabalham com empenho dominará, e os preguiçosos se tornarão escravos.

25 A ansiedade no coração do homem o abate; [mas] uma boa palavra o alegra.

26 O justo age cuidadosamente para com seu próximo, mas o caminho dos perversos os faz errar.

27 O preguiçoso não assa aquilo que caçou, mas a riqueza de quem trabalha com empenho [lhe é] preciosa.
