Proverbs 16:26

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

The soul of him that laboureth, laboureth for himself, because his mouth hath obliged him to it.

See the chapter Copy

All the labour of man is for his mouth, but his soul shall not be filled.

In much work there shall be abundance: but where there are many words, there is oftentimes want.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.

There is a way that seemeth to a man right: and the ends thereof lead to death.

The wicked man diggeth evil, and in his lips is a burning fire.
