2 By the fruit of his lips, a man enjoys good things;but the unfaithful crave violence.
3 He who guards his mouth guards his soul.One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
4 The soul of the sluggard desires, and has nothing,but the desire of the diligent shall be fully satisfied.
5 A righteous man hates lies,but a wicked man brings shame and disgrace.
6 Righteousness guards the way of integrity,but wickedness overthrows the sinner.
7 There are some who pretend to be rich, yet have nothing.There are some who pretend to be poor, yet have great wealth.
8 The ransom of a man’s life is his riches,but the poor hear no threats.
