Proverbs 16:22-30 Webster Bible Translation (WBT)

22. Understanding is a well-spring of life to him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

24. Pleasant words are as a honey-comb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25. There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.

26. He that laboreth laboreth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.

27. An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.

28. A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

29. A violent man enticeth his neighbor, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

30. He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
