3The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin. 4The slacker craves, yet has nothing, but the diligent is fully satisfied. The righteous hate lying, but the wicked bring disgust and shame. 6Righteousness guards people of integrity, but wickedness undermines the sinner. 7One person pretends to be rich but has nothing; another pretends to be poor but has abundant wealth.
