Proverbs 16:26

King James 2000

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 leads only to poverty.

There is a way that seems right unto 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 are wise, you shall be wise for yourself: but if you scoff, you alone shall bear it.

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