"Yahweh possessed me in the beginning of his work, before his deeds of old.

A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man's hands shall be rewarded to him.

In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

Honest balances and scales are Yahweh's; all the weights in the bag are his work.

One who is slack in his work is brother to him who is a master of destruction.

Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men.

If you say, "Behold, we didn't know this;" doesn't he who weighs the hearts consider it? He who keeps your soul, doesn't he know it? Shall he not render to every man according to his work?

Prepare your work outside, and get your fields ready. Afterwards, build your house.

Don't say, "I will do to him as he has done to me; I will render to the man according to his work."
