Proverbs 13:2-11

²Of the fruit of his own mouth shall a man be filled with good things: but the soul of transgressors is wicked.

³He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his soul: but he that hath no guard on his speech shall meet with evils.

⁴The sluggard willeth and willeth not: but the soul of them that work, shall be made fat.

⁵The just shall hate a lying word: but the wicked confoundeth, and shall be confounded.

⁶Justice keepeth the way of the innocent: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

⁷One is as it were rich, when he hath nothing: and another is as it were poor, when he hath great riches.

⁸The ransom of a man’s life are his riches: but he that is poor beareth not reprehension.

⁹The light of the just giveth joy: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

¹⁰Among the proud there are always contentions: but they that do all things with counsel, are ruled by wisdom.

¹¹Substance got in haste shall be diminished: but that which by little and little is gathered with the hand shall increase.
