23The heart of the wise man instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet to the taste, and health to the bones.
25There is a way that seemeth right to a man, But the end thereof is the way to death.
26The hunger of the laborer laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him on.
27A worthless man diggeth mischief, And on his lips there is, as it were, a burning fire.
28A deceitful man stirreth up strife, And a whisperer separateth friends.
29A man of violence enticeth his neighbor, And leadeth him into a way which is not good.
30He who shutteth his eyes to devise fraud, He who compresseth his lips, hath accomplished mischief!
