Proverbs 13:2-4
Lexham English Bible
2 From the fruit of the mouth of a man, he shall eat what is good,
but the desire[a] of the treacherous, wrongdoing.
3 He who keeps his mouth guards his life;[b]
he who opens his lips, ruin belongs to him.
4 The soul[c] of the lazy craves, but there is nothing,
but the person of diligence is richly supplied.
