Proverbs 16:24-30 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

24. Pleasant sayings are a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and healing to the bones.

25. There is a way that seems upright to a man, but its end is the way of death.

26. The life of a worker works for him, for his hunger urges him.

27. A man of wickedness concocts evil, and his lips are like a scorching fire.

28. A person of perversity will spread dissent, and he who whispers separates a close friend.

29. A person of violence will entice his neighbor and cause him to walk on a way that is not good.

30. He who winks his eyes does so in order to plan perverse things; he who purses his lips will bring evil to pass.
