Proverbs 16:26

A laborer's appetite works on his behalf, for his hunger urges him to work.

All of man's labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach -- yet his appetite is never satisfied!

If you are wise, you are wise to your own advantage, but if you are a mocker, you alone must bear it.

In all hard work there is profit, but merely talking about it only brings poverty.

to aspire to lead a quiet life, to attend to your own business, and to work with your hands, as we commanded you.

and we did not eat anyone's food without paying. Instead, in toil and drudgery we worked night and day in order not to burden any of you.
