Proverbs 12:13-15

Lexham English Bible

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^[a] will return to him.
¹⁵ The way of a fool is upright in his own eyes,
    but he who listens to advice is wise.
