The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

Verse 13 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The section contrasts productive work with chasing fantasies and shows how words can wound or heal. One who speaks rashly can cause harm like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truth endures, but falsehood is temporary. Wisdom therefore appears as a discipline both of economic actions and of everyday communication.

Der Böse wird gefangen in seinen eigenen falschen Worten; aber der Gerechte entgeht der Angst.
El impío es enredado en la prevaricación de sus labios: Mas el justo saldrá de la tribulación.
El malo queda atrapado por la transgresión de sus labios, pero el justo sale de la angustia.
Il y a dans le péché des lèvres un piège pernicieux, Mais le juste se tire de la détresse.
Il laccio del malvagio è nella dislealtà delle labbra; Ma il giusto uscirà di distretta
O ímpio se enlaça na transgressão dos lábios, mas o justo sairá da angústia.
嘴唇的過錯是惡人的圈套; 但義人必脫離患難。
