Context of Proverbs 13:5
3He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; Buthe that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. 4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. A righteous man hateth lying; But a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame. 6Righteousness guardeth him that is upright in the way; But wickedness overthroweth the sinner. 7There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothing: There is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great wealth.
