Proverbs 12:12-14

Lexham English Bible

¹² The wicked covets the proceeds of evil,
    but the root of the righteous bears fruit.^[a]
13 By the transgression of lips, evil is ensnared,
    but the righteous escapes from trouble.
¹⁴ From the fruit of the mouth of a man, he is filled with good,
    and the reward of a man’s labor^[b] will return to him.
