Proverbs 16:24-28

²⁴Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.

²⁵There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.

²⁶A man who labors, labors for himself, and drives from him his own ruin.

²⁷But the perverse bears destruction upon his own mouth: a foolish man digs up evil for himself, and treasures fire on his own lips.

²⁸A perverse man spreads mischief, and will kindle a torch of deceit with mischiefs; and he separates friends.
