2. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
- Hebrew
  - מִפְּרִי פִי־ אִישׁ יֹאכַל טוֹב וְנֶפֶשׁ בֹּגְדִים חָמָס׃
3. He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

4. The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
- Hebrew
  - מִתְאַוָּה וָאַיִן נַפְשׁוֹ עָצֵל וְנֶפֶשׁ חָרֻצִים תְּדֻשָּׁן׃

5. A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

  - צְדָקָה תִּצֹּר תָּם־דָּרֶךְ וְרִשְׁעָה תְּסַלֵּף חַטָּאת׃
7. There is that maketh himself rich, yet hath nothig: there is that maketh himself poor, yet hath great riches.
