Proverbs
Chapters 16:22-28
New International Version Anglicized
22Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent,but folly brings punishment to fools.
23The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent,and their lips promote instruction.
24Gracious words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25There is a way that appears to be right,but in the end it leads to death.
26The appetite of labourers works for them;their hunger drives them on.
27A scoundrel plots evil,and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.
28A perverse person stirs up conflict,and a gossip separates close friends.
