Proverbs 13:2-4

New Living Translation

²Wise words will win you a good meal,
but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.

³Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything.

⁴Lazy people want much but get little,
but those who work hard will prosper.

Proverbs 13:2-4

New International Version

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

³Those who guard their lips^(B) preserve their lives,^(C)
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.^(D)

⁴A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,^(E)
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
