Proverbs 16:26

American King James Version (1999)

He that labors labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.

See the chapter Copy

In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips tends only to penury.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

If you be wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.

All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
