Proverbs 16:24
King James VersionSource notes
“Pleasant words an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.”
Context
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Understanding a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools folly.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof the ways of death.
26He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips as a burning fire.
