Proverbs 16:24-33 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

24. Sayings of pleasantness [are] a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and healing to the bone.

25. There is a way right before a man, And its latter end--ways of death.

26. A labouring man hath laboured for himself, For his mouth hath caused [him] to bend over it.

27. A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips--as a burning fire.

28. A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

29. A violent man enticeth his neighbour, And hath causeth him to go in a way not good.

30. Consulting his eyes to devise froward things, Moving his lips he hath accomplished evil.

31. A crown of beauty [are] grey hairs, In the way of righteousness it is found.

32. Better [is] the slow to anger than the mighty, And the ruler over his spirit than he who is taking a city.

33. Into the centre is the lot cast, And from Jehovah [is] all its judgment!
