12 Whoever is wicked covets (A)the spoil of evildoers,
    but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
13 An evil man is ensnared (B)by the transgression of his lips,[a]
    (C)but the righteous escapes from trouble.
14 From the fruit of his mouth (D)a man is satisfied with good,
    (E)and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.
