Proverbs 13:2-9

1. 2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

2. 3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

3. 4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.

4. 5 A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

5. 6 Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.

6. 7 There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.

7. 8 The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.

8. 9 The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
