Proverbs 16:25-29

25There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way that leads to death.

26A laborer’s appetite works on his behalf, for his hunger urges him to work.

27A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and his slander is like a scorching fire.

28A perverse person spreads dissension, and a gossip separates the closest friends.

29A violent person entices his neighbor, and leads him down a path that is terrible.
