Proverbs 16:23-30 New International Version Anglicized (NIVUK)

23. The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent,and their lips promote instruction.

24. Gracious words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

25. There is a way that appears to be right,but in the end it leads to death.

26. The appetite of labourers works for them;their hunger drives them on.

27. A scoundrel plots evil,and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.

28. A perverse person stirs up conflict,and a gossip separates close friends.

29. A violent person entices their neighbourand leads them down a path that is not good.

30. Whoever winks with their eye is plotting perversity;whoever purses their lips is bent on evil.
