Proverbs 13:3-5

Modern English Version

³ He who guards his mouth preserves his life,
    but he who opens wide his lips will have destruction.

⁴ The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing;
    but the soul of the diligent will be made fat.

⁵ A righteous man hates lying,
    but a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
