Proverbs 13:3-6 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

6. Righteousness keeps him who is upright in the way,but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
