Proverbs 16:26

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

The appetite of the labouring man laboureth for him; For his mouth craveth it of him.

See the chapter Copy

In all labour there is profit: But the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

A worthless man deviseth mischief: And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

If thou art wise, thou art wise for thyself: And if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.
