(Read Proverbs 16:25)
This is caution to all, to take heed of deceiving themselves as to their souls.
23 The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.Or "prudent" / "and make their lips persuasive"
24 Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
25 There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death.
26 The appetite of laborers works for them; their hunger drives them on.
27 A scoundrel plots evil, and on their lips it is like a scorching fire.
