Proverbs 13:3-5

Contemporary English Version

^3 (A) Keep what you know to yourself,
    and you will be safe;
talk too much,
    and you are done for.
⁴ No matter how much you want,
    laziness won't help a bit,
but hard work will reward you
    with more than enough.
⁵ A good person hates deceit,
but those who are evil
    cause shame and disgrace.
