Proverbs 12:13

In context

11Whoever works his land will have plenty of bread, but whoever chases empty things lacks sense. 12The wicked man covets the catch of evil men, but the root of the righteous yields fruit. 13In the offense of the lips is an evil snare, but the righteous escapes from trouble. 14From the fruit of his mouth a man is filled with good, and the work of a man’s hands comes back to him. 15The way of the senseless is right in his own eyes, but the wise man listens to advice.
