Proverbs 16:25

Guidance and decisionsWisdomTruth and honestyDeath and loss

23 The heart of the wise man instructs his mouth and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

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

26 A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger drives him onward.

27 A worthless man digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.
