Proverbs 16:25-30

Proverbs 16:25-30 NET

There is a way that seems right to a person, but its end is the way that leads to death. A laborer’s appetite works on his behalf, for his hunger urges him to work. A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and his slander is like a scorching fire. A perverse person spreads dissension, and a gossip separates the closest friends. A violent person entices his neighbor, and leads him down a path that is terrible. The one who winks his eyes devises perverse things, and one who compresses his lips brings about evil.
