Proverbs

²²Understanding is a well-spring of life unto him that hath it; But the correction of fools is their folly. ²³The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips. ²⁴Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. ²⁵There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. ²⁶The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto. ²⁷A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire. ²⁸A perverse man scattereth abroad strife; And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
