Proverbs 16:26

New King James Version

The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on.

See the chapter Copy

All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.

In all labor there is profit, But idle chatter leads only to poverty.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, And if you scoff, you will bear it alone.”

There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire.
