Proverbs 12:11-13
New American Standard Bible
11 One (A)who works his land will have plenty of bread,
But one who pursues worthless things lacks [a]sense.
12 The (B)wicked person desires the [b]plunder of evil people,
But the root of the righteous (C)yields fruit.
13 [c]An evil person is ensnared by the offense of his lips,
But the (D)righteous will escape from trouble.
