Bible in Basic English
"The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat."
— Proverbs 13:4, Bible in Basic English
A wise son is a lover of teaching, but the ears of the haters of authority are shut to sharp words.
A man will get good from the fruit of his lips, but the desire of the false is for violent acts.
He who keeps a watch on his mouth keeps his life; but he whose lips are open wide will have destruction.
The hater of work does not get his desires, but the soul of the hard workers will be made fat.
The upright man is a hater of false words: the evil-doer gets a bad name and is put to shame.
Righteousness keeps safe him whose way is without error, but evil-doers are overturned by sin.
A man may be acting as if he had wealth, but have nothing; another may seem poor, but have great wealth.
