2 A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.
2 From the fruit of their lips people enjoy good things, but the unfaithful have an appetite for violence.
2 From the fruit of his mouth a man eats what is good, but the desire of the treacherous is for violence.
2 The good acquire a taste for helpful conversation; bullies push and shove their way through life.
2 A man shall eat well by the fruit of his mouth, But the soul of the unfaithful feeds on violence.
2 Wise words will win you a good meal, but treacherous people have an appetite for violence.
