Proverbs 13:3-5

EasyEnglish Bible

³ Someone who thinks before he speaks will keep his life safe.
    But someone who talks too much will destroy himself.
⁴ A lazy person always wants to have more, but he will not get it.
    If a person works hard, he will have more than he needs.
⁵ Honest people hate anything that is false.
    But wicked people do things that bring them shame.
