Proverbs 12:13-16 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

13. By the sin of their lips the wicked are ensnared,but the just escape from a tight spot.

14. From the fruit of their mouths people have their fill of good,and the works of their hands come back upon them.

15. The way of fools is right in their own eyes,but those who listen to advice are the wise.

16. Fools immediately show their anger,but the shrewd conceal contempt.
