Proverbs 16:26

Young's Literal Translation 1898

A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused him to bend over it.

See the chapter Copy

In all labour there is advantage, And a thing of the lips is only to want.

There is a way right before a man, And its latter end--ways of death.

A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips--as a burning fire.

If thou hast been wise, thou hast been wise for thyself, And thou hast scorned--thyself bearest it .

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