Proverbs 12:11

He that tilleth his land shall have plenty of bread: but he that followeth after vain persons shall have poverty enough.

In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.

And that ye study to be quiet, and to do your own business, and to work with your own hands, as we commanded you; That ye may walk honestly toward them that are without, and that ye may have lack of nothing.

For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.

Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.

Neither did we eat any man’s bread for nought; but wrought with labour and travail night and day, that we might not be chargeable to any of you:

Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding.

Where no oxen are, the crib is clean: but much increase is by the strength of the ox.

And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,

In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.

He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a companion of fools shall be destroyed.

My son, if sinners entice thee, consent thou not. If they say, Come with us, let us lay wait for blood, let us lurk privily for the innocent without cause: Let us swallow them up alive as the grave; and whole, as those that go down into the pit: We shall find all precious substance, we shall fill our houses with spoil: Cast in thy lot among us; let us all have one purse: My son, walk not thou in the way with them; refrain thy foot from their path: For their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood. Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird. And they lay wait for their own blood; they lurk privily for their own lives. So are the ways of every one that is greedy of gain; which taketh away the life of the owners thereof.

Enter not into the path of the wicked, and go not in the way of evil men. Avoid it, pass not by it, turn from it, and pass away.

But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul.

For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre’s sake.

And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baal–berith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.

A foolish woman is clamorous: she is simple, and knoweth nothing.

Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: and as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith to him,

I have not sat with vain persons, neither will I go in with dissemblers.

They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy.

Much food is in the tillage of the poor: but there is that is destroyed for want of judgment.

And thou shalt have goats’ milk enough for thy food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance for thy maidens.
