2 From the fruit of a man's mouth he enjoys good, But the desire of the treacherous is violence.
3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard craves and gets nothing, But the soul of the diligent is made fat.
5 A righteous man hates falsehood, But a wicked man acts disgustingly and shamefully.
6 Righteousness guards the one whose way is blameless, But wickedness subverts the sinner.
7 There is one who pretends to be rich, but has nothing; Another pretends to be poor, but has great wealth.
8 The ransom of a man's life is his wealth, But the poor hears no rebuke.
