Proverbs 16:26

He who works labors for himself. His hungry mouth spurs him on.

All the labor of man is for his mouth and yet the appetite is not satisfied.

When you are wise you are wise for yourself. When you scoff you bear it alone.

In all labor there is profit: but idle chatter leads only to destitution.

Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, and mind your own business, and work with your hands, as we command you.

We did not eat anyone's food without paying for it. Instead, we worked hard and struggled night and day in order not to be a burden to any of you.
