Context of Proverbs 13:5
3He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his soul; destruction shall be to him that openeth wide his lips. 4A sluggard's soul desireth and hath nothing; but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat. A righteous [man] hateth lying; but the wicked maketh himself odious and cometh to shame. 6Righteousness preserveth him that is perfect in the way; but wickedness overthroweth the sinner. 7There is that feigneth himself rich, and hath nothing; there is that maketh himself poor, and hath great wealth.
