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

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

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

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

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.
