Proverbs 13:4-8 Common English Bible (CEB)

4. The lazy have strong desires but receive nothing;the appetite of the diligent is satisfied.

5. The righteous hate false words,but the wicked create disgust and scorn.

6. Righteousness guards the innocent on the path,but wickedness misleads sinners.

7. Some pretend to be rich but have nothing,while others pretend to be poor, but have great riches.

8. Wealth can ransom a person’s life,but the poor don’t even receive threats.
