Proverbs 13:2-4
Wycliffe Bible
2 A man shall be filled with goods of the fruit of his mouth; but the soul of unpious men is wicked. (A good person shall be filled with things from the fruit of his mouth; but the souls of evil people be wicked.)
3 He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul; but he that is unwary to speak, shall feel evils. (He who guardeth his mouth, keepeth his soul safe; but he who is careless when he speaketh, shall experience evil.)
4 A slow man will, and will not; but the soul of them that work shall be made fat. (A lazy person desireth, and desireth not; but those who do work shall prosper.)

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.
