5 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “labour” →
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: but he that gathereth by labour shall increase.
In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury.
The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
