Proverbs 16:26-31 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

26. He who labours, labours for himself, For his mouth drives him on.

27. A man of Beliya‛al plots evil, And on his lips it is like a burning fire.

28. A perverse man sends forth strife, And a whisperer separates intimate friends.

29. A ruthless man entices his neighbour, And leads him in a way that is not good,

30. Winking with his eye to plot perversity, Moving his lips he shall bring about evil.

31. Grey hair is a crown of adorning, It is found in the way of righteousness.
