Proverbs 13:3-11

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

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

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

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

⁷There is who is making himself rich, and hath nothing, Who is making himself poor, and wealth is abundant.

⁸The ransom of a man's life are his riches, And the poor hath not heard rebuke.

⁹The light of the righteous rejoiceth, And the lamp of the wicked is extinguished.

¹⁰A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled is wisdom.

¹¹Wealth from vanity becometh little, And whoso is gathering by the hand becometh great.
