Proverbs 16:24-33 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

24. Pleasant words are a honeycomb,sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

25. There is a way which seems right to a man,but in the end it leads to death.

26. The appetite of the labouring man labours for him;for his mouth urges him on.

27. A worthless man devises mischief.His speech is like a scorching fire.

28. A perverse man stirs up strife.A whisperer separates close friends.

29. A man of violence entices his neighbour,and leads him in a way that is not good.

30. One who winks his eyes to plot perversities,one who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.

31. Grey hair is a crown of glory.It is attained by a life of righteousness.

32. One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty;one who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.

33. The lot is cast into the lap,but its every decision is from the Lord.
