Proverbs 12:11-13
New Catholic Bible
11 One who tills his land has an abundance of food,
but he who chases fantasies[a] is a fool.
12 The wicked desire the prey of evil men,
but the root of the righteous bears fruit.
13 The wicked man is ensnared by the sin of his lips,
but the righteous frees himself from misfortune.
