Proverbs 16:26

American Standard Version (1901)

The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto.

See the chapter Copy

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

In all labor there is profit; But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself; And if thou scoffest, thou alone shalt bear it.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
