Proverbs 13:1-6

1 A wise son -- the instruction of a father, And a scorner -- he hath not heard rebuke.

2 From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous -- violence.

2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.

3 Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!

3 Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

4 The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.

4 A sluggard’s appetite is never filled, but the desires of the diligent are fully satisfied.

5 A false word the righteous hateth, And the wicked causeth abhorrence, and is confounded.

5 The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves.

6 Righteousness keepeth him who is perfect in the way, And wickedness overthroweth a sin offering.

6 Righteousness guards the person of integrity, but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
