Proverbs 16:26-31 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

26. A worker’s appetite works for himbecause his hunger urges him on.

27. A worthless man digs up evil,and his speech is like a scorching fire.

28. A contrary man spreads conflict,and a gossip separates close friends.

29. A violent man lures his neighbor, leading him in a way that is not good.

30. The one who narrows his eyes is planning deceptions;the one who compresses his lips brings about evil.

31. Gray hair is a glorious crown; it is found in the way of righteousness.
