Proverbs 12:11-13
American Standard Version
11 He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread;
But he that followeth after [a]vain persons is void of understanding.
12 The wicked desireth [b]the net of evil men;
But the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit.
13 In the transgression of the lips is [c]a snare to the evil man;
But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
