Proverbs 16:26-31 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

26. The life of a worker works for him, for his hunger urges him.

27. A man of wickedness concocts evil, and his lips are like a scorching fire.

28. A person of perversity will spread dissent, and he who whispers separates a close friend.

29. A person of violence will entice his neighbor and cause him to walk on a way that is not good.

30. He who winks his eyes does so in order to plan perverse things; he who purses his lips will bring evil to pass.

31. A crown of glory is gray hair; by a righteous life it is gained.
