Proverbs 13:4

A Wise Son Lives Righteously

³
The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life;
The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin.
⁴ 
The soul (appetite) of the lazy person craves and gets nothing [for lethargy overcomes ambition],
But the soul (appetite) of the diligent [who works willingly] is rich and abundantly supplied.
⁵
A righteous man hates lies,
But a wicked man is loathsome, and he acts shamefully.
