English Standard Version

13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk,

and so the innocent escape trouble.

14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things,

and the work of their hands brings them reward.

15 The way of fools seems right to them,

but the wise listen to advice.

13 The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips:

But the just shall come out of trouble.

14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth:

And the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes:

But he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.

13 The wicked are trapped by their own words,

but the godly escape such trouble.

14 Wise words bring many benefits,

and hard work brings rewards.

15 Fools think their own way is right,

but the wise listen to others.

13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,

But the righteous will come through trouble.

14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth,

And the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,

But he who heeds counsel is wise.

13 Evil people are trapped by their evil talk,

but good people stay out of trouble.

14 People will be rewarded for what they say,

and they will also be rewarded for what they do.

15 Fools think they are doing right,

but the wise listen to advice.

13 In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man;

But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth;

And the doings of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes;

But he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

13 In the transgression of the lips is an evil snare; but a righteous man shall go forth out of trouble.

14 A man is satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth; and the recompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes; but he that is wise hearkeneth unto counsel.

13 An evil person is trapped by his own sinful talk, 

but a righteous person escapes from trouble. 

14 One person enjoys good things as a result of his speaking ability. 

Another is paid according to what his hands have accomplished. 

15 A stubborn fool considers his own way the right one, 

but a person who listens to advice is wise. 

13 An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,

but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

14 A man will be satisfied with good

by the words of his mouth,

and the work of a man’s hands will reward him.

15 A fool’s way is right in his own eyes,

but whoever listens to counsel is wise.

13 The evil are ensnared by the transgression of their lips,

but the righteous escape from trouble.

14 From the fruit of the mouth one is filled with good things,

and manual labor has its reward.

15 Fools think their own way is right,

but the wise listen to advice.

13 By the transgression of lips, evil is ensnared,

but the righteous escapes from trouble.

14 From the fruit of the mouth of a man, he is filled with good,

and the reward of a man’s labor will return to him.

15 The way of a fool is upright in his own eyes,

but he who listens to advice is wise.

13 A sinner is trapped by his sinful talk.

But a godly person escapes trouble.

14 Many good things come from what a man says.

And the work of his hands rewards him.

15 The way of a foolish person seems right to him.

But a wise person listens to advice.

13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,

But the righteous will escape from trouble.

14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his words,

And the deeds of a man’s hands will return to him.

15 The way of a fool is right in his own eyes,

But a wise man is he who listens to counsel.
