Proverbs 13:2-4
Authorized (King James) Version
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:
but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:
but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing:
but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
