23The heart of the wise causeth his mouth to act wisely, And by his lips he increaseth learning,
24Sayings of pleasantness are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.
25There is a way right before a man, And its latter end — ways of death.
26A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused him to bend over it.
27A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips — as a burning fire.
28A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.
