Proverbs 13:4-6
Amplified Bible

4 
The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing [for lethargy overcomes ambition],
But the soul (appetite) of the diligent [who works willingly] is rich and abundantly supplied.(A)
5 
A righteous man hates lies,
But a wicked man is loathsome, and he acts shamefully.
6 
Righteousness (being in right standing with God) guards the one whose way is blameless,
But wickedness undermines and overthrows the sinner.
