Proverbs 13:5 Context
3He that keepeth his mouth, keepeth his life: but hee that openeth wide his lips, shall haue destruction. 4The soule of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soule of the diligent shall be made fat. 5A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and commeth to shame. 6Righteousnesse keepeth him that is vpright in the way: but wickednesse ouerthroweth the sinner. 7There is that maketh himselfe rich, yet hath nothing: there is that maketh himselfe poore, yet hath great riches.
