Proverbs 13:2-4

GOD’S WORD Translation

² A person eats well as a result of his speaking ability,
but the appetite of treacherous people ⌞craves⌟ violence.
³ Whoever controls his mouth protects his own life.
Whoever has a big mouth comes to ruin.
⁴ A lazy person craves food and there is none,
but the appetite of hard-working people is satisfied.
