Proverbs 16:26 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Proverbs 16:26

Compare all

24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man,
But its end is the way of ^adeath.

26 The person who labors, labors for himself,
For his hungry mouth drives ^ahim on.

27 ¹An ungodly man digs up evil,
And it is on his lips like a burning ^afire.

28 A perverse man sows strife,
And ^aa whisperer separates the best of friends.
