Proverbs 13:2-4

Tree of Life Version

²From the fruit of a man’s mouth he enjoys good things,
but the treacherous crave violence.

³He who watches his mouth protects his life,
but whoever opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

⁴The slacker’s soul craves, yet has nothing,
but the diligent soul will be satisfied.

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.

²A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

³He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

⁴The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
