Proverbs 13:3-8
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 13

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. 6Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness brings the sinner to ruin. 7There is one who pretends to be rich but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth. 8The ransom of a person’s life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke.
King James Version

Chapter 13

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.
6Righteousness keepeth him that is upright in the way: but wickedness overthroweth the sinner.
7There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
8The ransom of a man's life are his riches: but the poor heareth not rebuke.
