Context of Proverbs 16:25
23The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning. 24Pleasant words are [as] a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health for the bones. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is the ways of death. 26The appetite of the labourer laboureth for him, for his mouth urgeth him on. 27A man of Belial diggeth up evil, and on his lips there is as a scorching fire.
