Proverbs 16:24-26

English Standard Version

^24 (A)Gracious words are like ^(B)a honeycomb,
    sweetness to the soul and ^(C)health to the body.
²⁵ There is a way that seems right to a man,
    but its end is the way to death.^[a]
26 A worker's appetite works for him;
    his ^(D)mouth urges him on.
