3He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction. 4The soul of a lazy man desires, and has nothing; But the soul of the diligent shall be made rich. A righteous man hates lying, But a wicked man is loathsome and comes to shame. 6Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, But wickedness overthrows the sinner. 7There is one who makes himself rich, yet has nothing; And one who makes himself poor, yet has great riches.
