Proverbs 13:2-4
The Voice
2 A person eats well when he speaks wisely,
but the treacherous crave violence.
3 Those who guard their speech insure they will take another breath,
but those who talk without thinking guarantee their demise.
4 Slackers crave but have their fill of nothing,
but the hardworking desire and are completely satisfied.
Proverbs 13:2-4
New International Version
2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things,(A)
but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
3 Those who guard their lips(B) preserve their lives,(C)
but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.(D)
4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled,(E)
but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.
