Proverbs 16:26-28
American Standard Version

26 The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him;
For his mouth urgeth him thereto.
27 A worthless man [a]deviseth mischief;
And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
28 A perverse man scattereth abroad strife;
And a whisperer [b]separateth chief friends.
