24. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25. There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
26. A worker's appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him on.
27. A worthless man digs up evil, While his words are like scorching fire.
28. A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends.
29. A man of violence entices his neighbor And leads him in a way that is not good.
30. He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things; He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.
31. A gray head is a crown of glory; It is found in the way of righteousness.
32. He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
33. The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the Lord.
