1 A wise son listens to his father's instruction, But a scoffer doesn't listen to rebuke.
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.
