Proverbs 12:25
Compare all
23 aA prudent man conceals knowledge,
But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness. 
24 aThe hand of the diligent will rule,
But the lazy man will be put to forced labor. 
25 aAnxiety in the heart of man causes depression,
But ba good word makes it glad. 
26 The righteous should choose his friends carefully,
For the way of the wicked leads them astray.
27 The lazy man does not roast what he took in hunting,
But diligence is man’s precious possession.

Proverbs 12:25

Heaviness in the heart of a man maketh it stoop - Sorrow of heart, hopeless love, or a sense of God' s displeasure - these prostrate the man, and he becomes a child before them.

But a good word maketh it glad - A single good or favorable word will remove despondency; and that word, "Son, be of good cheer, thy sins are forgiven thee," will instantly remove despair.
