Proverbs 13:2-5
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 13

2From the fruit of a person’s mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence. 3One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. 4The soul of the lazy one craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made prosperous. 5A righteous person hates a false statement, But a wicked person acts disgustingly and shamefully.
King James Version

Chapter 13

2A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
Christian Standard Bible

5The righteous hate what is false, but the wicked make themselves a stench and bring shame on themselves.
New King James Version

2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence. 3 He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. 4 The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. 5A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame.
