Proverbs 13:2-4
Contemporary English Version
Proverbs 13:2-4
Contemporary English Version
2 You will be well rewarded
for saying something kind,
but all some people think about
is how to be cruel and mean.
3 (A) Keep what you know to yourself,
and you will be safe;
talk too much,
and you are done for.
4 No matter how much you want,
laziness won't help a bit,
but hard work will reward you
with more than enough.
Contemporary English Version (CEV)
