Proverbs 16:23-30 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

23. The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, and adds learning to his lips.

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

25. There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

26. He that labors labors for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.

27. An ungodly man digs up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28. A perverse man sows strife: and a whisperer separates best friends.

29. A violent man entices his neighbor, and leads him into the way that is not good.

30. He shuts his eyes to devise perverse things: moving his lips he brings evil to pass.
