Proverbs 16:22-27 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

22. Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it, But the discipline of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24. Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

25. There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.

26. A worker's appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him on.

27. A worthless man digs up evil, While his words are like scorching fire.
