24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
25
There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
26
The person who labors, labors for himself, For his hungry mouth drives him on.
27
An ungodly man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire.
28
A perverse man sows strife, And a whisperer separates the best of friends.
29
A violent man entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.
30
He winks his eye to devise perverse things; He purses his lips and brings about evil.
31
The silver-haired head is a crown of glory, If it is found in the way of righteousness.
32
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, And he 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.
