Proverbs 13:2-4
New American Standard Bible 1995
2 From the fruit of a man’s mouth he [a](A)enjoys good,
But the [b]desire of the treacherous is (B)violence.
3 The one who (C)guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who (D)opens wide his lips [c]comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
