Proverbs 16:25-29

25 1There is a way which seems right to a person, But its end is the way of death.26A worker’s appetite works for him, For his 2hunger urges him on.27A 3worthless person digs up evil, While 4his words are like 5scorching fire.28A perverse person spreads strife, And a 6slanderer separates close friends.29A person of violence 7entices his neighbor And leads him in a way that is not good.
