Proverbs 12:11-13
International Standard Version

11 Whoever tills his soil will have a lot to eat,
    but anyone who pursues fantasies lacks sense.[a]

12 The wicked desires what evil people gain,
    but the foundation[b] of the righteous is productive.
13 An evil man’s sinful speech ensnares him,
    but the righteous person escapes from trouble.
