Proverbs 16:23-28 New King James Version (NKJV)

23. The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,And adds learning to his lips.

24. Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

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

26. The person who labors, labors for himself,For his hungry mouth drives him on.

27. An ungodly man digs up evil,And it is on his lips like a burning fire.

28. A perverse man sows strife,And a whisperer separates the best of friends.
