A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

Verse 2 is found in chapter 13 of Proverbs. The chapter begins with responses to correction and continues with contrasts between speaking prudently and acting impulsively. The person who guards his mouth protects his life, while one who speaks without restraint may expose himself to disaster. Wealth acquired quickly is contrasted with wealth accumulated little by little, introducing a wisdom perspective on prosperity based on patience and consistent work.

Die Frucht des Mundes genießt man; aber die Verächter denken nur zu freveln.
Del fruto de su boca el hombre comerá bien: Mas el alma de los prevaricadores hallará mal.
Par le fruit de la bouche on jouit du bien; Mais ce que désirent les perfides, c'est la violence.
L’uomo mangerà del bene del frutto delle sue labbra; Ma l’anima degli scellerati mangerà del frutto di violenza
Do fruto da boca cada um comerá o bem, mas a alma dos prevaricadores comerá a violência.
人因口所結的果實,必享美福; 奸詐人卻意圖殘暴。
