Proverbs 16:26

Tree of Life Version

A laborer’s appetite works on his behalf, for his hunger drives him on.

See the chapter Copy

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

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

A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and on his lips is a scorching fire.

If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage, but if you scoff, you bear it alone.

All a man’s labor is for his mouth, yet his appetite is not satisfied.
