Proverbs 13:4-9

Listen to Proverbs 13:4-9
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5 A righteous man 1hates falsehood, But a wicked man 2acts disgustingly and shamefully.
6 Righteousness 3guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.
