The righteous shows his neighbor the way, but the way of the wicked leads them astray.
In context
24The hand of the diligent will rule, but slackness ends in forced labor. 25Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a good word cheers it up. 26The righteous shows his neighbor the way, but the way of the wicked leads them astray. 27The slack man does not roast his game, but the diligent man has precious wealth. 28In the path of righteousness is life, and along its pathway there is no death.
