Proverbs 16:22-29 Darby Translation 1890 (DARBY)

22. Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning.

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

25. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death.

26. The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him, for his mouth urgeth him on.

27. A man of Belial diggeth up evil, and on his lips there is as a scorching fire.

28. A false man soweth contention; and a talebearer separateth very friends.

29. A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into a way that is not good.
