Proverbs 13:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

³ The one who ^(A)guards his mouth preserves his life;
The one who ^(B)opens wide his lips ^[a]comes to ruin.
⁴ The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing,
But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
⁵ A righteous man ^(C)hates falsehood,
But a wicked man ^[b](D)acts disgustingly and shamefully.
