Proverbs 16:26

New International Reader's Version

The hunger of workers makes them work. Their hunger drives them on.

See the chapter Copy

All hard work pays off. But if all you do is talk, you will be poor.

There is a way that appears to be right. But in the end it leads to death.

A worthless person plans to do evil things. Their words are like a burning fire.

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you. If you make fun of others, you alone will suffer.

People eat up everything they work to get. But they are never satisfied.
