Proverbs 13:3-13

3 He who keeps his mouth guards his life; he who opens his lips, ruin [belongs] to him.
4 The soul of the lazy craves, but there is nothing, but the person of diligence is richly supplied.
5 The righteous hates a word of falsehood; the wicked will bring shame and {disgrace}.
6 Righteousness will guard the upright of way, but wickedness will overthrow sin.
7 There is one who acts rich but {has nothing}; another who pretends to be poor but [has] wealth.
8 The ransom of the life of a man [is] his wealth, but the poor does not receive a threat.
9 The light of the righteous will rejoice, but the lamp of the wicked will die out.
10 Only by insolence is strife set up, and wisdom [is] with those who take advice.
11 Wealth [gained] from haste will dwindle, but he who gathers {little by little} will increase it.
12 Hope that is deferred makes the heart sick, but a desire fulfilled [is] a tree of life.
13 He who despises a word will bring destruction on himself, but he who respects a commandment will be rewarded.
