Proverbs13:2
2. A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth : but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence .
Shall receive much comfort, and credit, and benefit to himself.
By his wise and profitable discourses.
i. e. The person, as the soul is oft used.
Who transgress with their Lips, as this general Phrase may be restrained from the former clause.
Shall have that violence and injury returned upon themselves which they have offered to others in word or deed.
