v. 26. He that laboreth, laboreth for himself, his spirit or soul, under the pressure of life's necessities, impels him to work earnestly for his daily bread; for his mouth craveth it of him, drives him forward, compels him, goads him on, for it is the Lord's rule that man must work in order to gain the necessities of life.
