Proverbs 13:2-4

International Children’s Bible

²A person will be rewarded for what he says.
But those who can’t be trusted want only violence.

³Whoever is careful about what he says protects his life.
But anyone who speaks without thinking will be ruined.

⁴The lazy person will not get what he wants.
But a hard worker gets everything he wants.

²From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,^(A)
but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
