Proverbs 16:26

Wycliffe's Bible with Modern Spelling

The soul of a man travailing travaileth to himself; for his mouth compelled him.

See the chapter Copy

abundance shall be in each good work or in every good work. Soothly where full many words be, there neediness is oft.

A way there is that seemeth rightful [or right] to a man; and the last things thereof lead to death.

An unwise man diggeth for evil; and fire burneth in his lips.

If thou art wise, thou shalt be wise to thyself, and to thy neighbours. Forsooth if thou art a scorner, thou alone shalt bear evil.

All the travail of a man is in his mouth, but the soul of him shall not be [ful] filled with goods.
