A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him.

Verse 14 is found in chapter 12 of Proverbs. The section contrasts productive work with chasing fantasies and shows how words can wound or heal. One who speaks rashly can cause harm like a sword, while the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truth endures, but falsehood is temporary. Wisdom therefore appears as a discipline both of economic actions and of everyday communication.

Viel Gutes kommt dem Mann durch die Frucht des Mundes; und dem Menschen wird vergolten, nach dem seine Hände verdient haben.
El hombre será harto de bien del fruto de su boca: Y la paga de las manos del hombre le será dada.
Par le fruit de la bouche on est rassasié de biens, Et chacun reçoit selon l'oeuvre de ses mains.
L’uomo sarà saziato di beni per lo frutto della sua bocca; E Dio renderà all’uomo la retribuzione dell’opere delle sue mani
Cada um se fartará do fruto da sua boca, e da obra das suas mãos o homem receberá a recompensa.
人因口所結的果實,必飽得美福; 人手所做的,必歸到自己身上。
