Proverbs 16:26 Cross References - Thomson

²⁶ A man by labour laboureth for himself; and wardeth off his own destruction.

¹² My son, if thou art wise for thyself, thou wilt be wise also for thy neighbours. But if thou become wicked, thou alone shalt draw up evils. He who leaneth upon lies, feedeth on the wind, and he shall pursue flying birds; for he hath left the walks of his own vineyard, and wandered out of the paths of his own field, and traverseth a desert without water, and a land destined to thirst; and with his hands gathereth sterility.

²³ With all who are careful there is abundance; but he who is delicate and taketh no trouble shall be in want.

⁷ All the labour of a man is for the mouth; yet the appetite will not be satisfied:

¹¹ and to make it your ambition to live quietly, and to mind your own business, and work with your own hands, as we charged you; ¹² that your walk may appear orderly to the world, and that you may be in want of nothing.

⁸ nor eat any man's bread for nothing; but with labour and toil worked night and day, that we might not be burthensome to any of you; ⁹ not because we are destitute of authority, but that we might exhibit ourselves as a pattern for you to imitate. ¹⁰ For when we were with you we gave you this charge, that he who would not work should not eat. ¹¹ For we hear that there are some among you who walk disorderly, doing no work, but busying themselves impertinently. ¹² Now we charge such, and intreat them by the Lord Jesus Christ, to work quietly, and eat their own bread.
