The appetite of the laboring man labors for him,
for his mouth urges him on.
The appetite of the laboring man labors for him,
for his mouth urges him on.
Proverbs 16:23–29
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth,
and adds learning to his lips.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
There is a way which seems right to a man,
but in the end it leads to death.
The appetite of the laboring man labors for him,
for his mouth urges him on.
A worthless man devises mischief.
His speech is like a scorching fire.
A perverse man stirs up strife.
A whisperer separates close friends.
A man of violence entices his neighbor,
and leads him in a way that is not good.
