14 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.
14 From the fruit of their lips people are filled with good things, and the work of their hands brings them reward.
14 From the fruit of his mouth a man is satisfied with good, and the work of a man's hand comes back to him.
14 Well-spoken words bring satisfaction; well-done work has its own reward.
14 A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, And the recompense of a man's hands will be rendered to him.
14 Wise words bring many benefits, and hard work brings rewards.

Commentary on Proverbs 12:14
(Read Proverbs 12:14)
When men use their tongues aright, to teach and comfort others, they enjoy acceptance through Christ Jesus; and the testimony of their conscience, that they in some measure answer the end of their being.
