Proverbs 16:24-26
Wycliffe Bible
24 Words well-set together is a comb of honey; health of bones is the sweetness of soul. (Kind words be like a honeycomb; sweet to the soul, and health for the bones.)
25 A way there is that seemeth rightful to a man (There is a way that seemeth right to someone); and the last things thereof lead to death.
26 The soul of a man travailing travaileth to himself; for his mouth compelled him. (A person labouring laboureth for himself; for his hunger compelled him.)

Proverbs 16:24-26
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.
