Context of Proverbs 16:25
23The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips. 24Pleasant words areas a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death. 26The appetite of the laboring man laboreth for him; For his mouth urgeth him thereto. 27A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
