Proverbs 13:2-4
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
2 From the fruit of their words good persons eat good things,
but the desire of the treacherous is for wrongdoing.
3 Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin.(A)
4 The appetite of the lazy craves and gets nothing,
while the appetite of the diligent is richly supplied.(B)
