Proverbs 12:12-14

The Voice

¹² The wicked envy what the evil plunder,
    but the root of the right-living produces fruit for all.
¹³ A wrongdoer is soon boxed in by his deceitful talk,
    but the one who does right escapes from trouble unharmed.
¹⁴ Words spoken wisely result in much good,
    and working with your hands pays a large reward.
