Proverbs 16:25 Context
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lippes. 24Pleasant words are as an honycombe, sweete to the soule, and health to the bones. 25There is a way that seemeth right vnto a man; but the end thereof are the wayes of death. 26Hee that laboureth, laboureth for himselfe; for his mouth craueth it of him. 27An vngodly man diggeth vp euill: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
