13 Evildoers are trapped by their sinful talk, and so the innocent escape trouble.
13 The wicked
13 An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble.
13 The gossip of bad people gets them in trouble; the conversation of good people keeps them out of it.
13 The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, But the righteous will come through trouble.
13 The wicked are trapped by their own words, but the godly escape such trouble.
