Proverbs 16:26

Hebrew Names version (HNV)

The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; for his mouth urges him on.

See the chapter Copy

In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

There is a way which seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death.

A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it.

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