Proverbs 16:24-28

New King James Version

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 ^(A)death.

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

^27 [a]An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning ^(C)fire.
²⁸ A perverse man sows strife,
And ^(D)a whisperer separates the best of friends.
