Proverbs 16:23-25

Young's Literal Translation

²³The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,

²⁴Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.

²⁵There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death.
