Proverbs 16:23-25
EasyEnglish Bible

23 Wise people think carefully and they speak wise words.
    Then other people will accept their teaching.
24 Kind words are as sweet as honey.
    They also bring health and strength.
25 You may think that you are on a good, straight road.
    But in the end, that road may lead you to death.
