23The heart of the wise man is the teacher of his mouth, and gives increased learning to his lips.
24Pleasing words are like honey, sweet to the soul and new life to the bones.
25There is a way which seems straight before a man, but its end is the ways of death.
26The desire of the working man is working for him, for his need of food is driving him on.
27A good-for-nothing man is a designer of evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.
