Proverbs 13:3-5
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
3 Those who guard their mouths preserve their lives;
those who open wide their lips come to ruin.(A)
4 The appetite of the lazy craves and gets nothing,
while the appetite of the diligent is richly supplied.(B)
5 The righteous hate falsehood,
but the wicked act shamefully and disgracefully.
Proverbs 13:3-5
