Proverbs 16:26

New International Version

The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on.

See the chapter Copy

All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

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

A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.

If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.

Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied.
