Proverbs 16:24-29

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.

²⁹A transgressor tries to ensnare friends, And leads them in ways that are not good.
