Proverbs 16:23-25
The Voice

23 From a wise heart flow careful words;
    wise words make the lips more persuasive.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb:
    they drip sweet food for life and bring health to the body.
25 Before every person lies a road that seems to be right,
    but at the end of that road death and destruction wait.
