Proverbs 13:3-7 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

3. He who watches over his mouth guards his being, But he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

4. The being of the lazy one craves, but has not; While the being of the hard workers are enriched.

5. A righteous one hates a lying word, But a wrong man is loathsome and comes to shame.

6. Righteousness watches over him who is perfect in the way, But wrongness overthrows the sinner.

7. There is one who makes himself rich, Yet has none at all. And one who makes himself poor, Yet has great riches.
