Proverbs 16:26

The life of a worker works for him, for his {hunger} urges him.

All of a man's toil [is] for his mouth-- yet his appetite is never satisfied.

If you are wise, you are wise for yourself, and [if] you scoff, alone you shall bear [it].

In all toil, there is profit, but the {talk} of lips [leads] only to poverty.

and to aspire to live a quiet life, and to attend to {your own business}, and to work with your hands, just as we commanded you,

nor did we eat bread from anyone without paying, but with toil and labor, [we were] working night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you,

He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
