Proverbs 16:23-28 American Standard Version (ASV)

23. The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.

24. Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.

26. The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto.

27. A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.

28. A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
