24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet to the being, and healing to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
26 He who labours, labours for himself, For his mouth drives him on.
27 A man of Beliya‛al plots evil, And on his lips it is like a burning fire.
28 A perverse man sends forth strife, And a whisperer separates intimate friends.
29 A ruthless man entices his neighbour, And leads him in a way that is not good,
30 Winking with his eye to plot perversity, Moving his lips he shall bring about evil.
