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.
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth - (cf. Proverbs 12:12, end.) The good man himself derives the most ample fruit from the good and kindly and pious words of his own mouth. Not merely the taught are instructed, but the teacher is benefited by his own profitable discourse.
And the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. If a man's good words bring, by the grace of God, their own reward to the speaker, much more the good works of "a man's hands" shall bring to him their own recompence. He shall not be "satisfied with good" who destroys by the deeds of his "hands" what he teaches with the words of "his mouth."
