Proverbs 16:26

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

The appetite of workers works for them; their hunger urges them on.

See the chapter Copy

In all toil there is profit, but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Sometimes there is a way that seems to be right, but in the end it is the way to death.

Scoundrels concoct evil, and their speech is like a scorching fire.

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

All human toil is for the mouth, yet the appetite is not satisfied.
