Proverbs 16:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶ A worker’s appetite works for him,
For his hunger urges him on.
²⁷ A worthless man digs up evil,
While his words are like scorching fire.
²⁸ A perverse man spreads strife,
And a slanderer separates intimate friends.

Every man to his tents, O Israel!”

Psalm 17:14-15

From men of the world, whose portion is in this life,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And leave their abundance to their babes.

And their tongue a sharp sword.
