In context
1 A wise son--the instruction of a father, And a scorner--he hath not heard rebuke.
2 From the fruit of the mouth a man eateth good, And the soul of the treacherous--violence.
3 Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips--ruin to him!
4 The soul of the slothful is desiring, and hath not. And the soul of the diligent is made fat.
