Proverbs 12:13-15

International Standard Version

¹³An evil man’s sinful speech ensnares him,
but the righteous person escapes from trouble.

¹⁴By his fruitful speech a man can remain satisfied,
and a man’s handiwork will reward him.

¹⁵The lifestyle of the fool is right in his own opinion,
but wise is the man who listens to advice.
