Proverbs 16:24-33

Listen to Proverbs 16:24-33
24 Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way which seems right to a man, But in the end it leads to death.
26 The appetite of the laboring man labors for him; For his mouth urges him on.
27 A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.
28 A perverse man stirs up strife. A whisperer separates close friends.
29 A man of violence entices his neighbor, And leads him in a way that is not good.
30 One who winks his eyes to plot perversities, One who compresses his lips, is bent on evil.
31 Gray hair is a crown of glory. It is attained by a life of righteousness.
32 One who is slow to anger is better than the mighty; One who rules his spirit, than he who takes a city.
33 The lot is cast into the lap, But its every decision is from the LORD.
