1 A wise son heareth his father's instruction:but a scorner heareth not rebuke.
2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth:but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
4 The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing:but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
5 A righteous man hateth lying:but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.
