Proverbs 16:27–31 · Berean Standard Bible

27 A worthless man digs up evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire.

28 A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends.

29 A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good.

30 He who winks his eye devises perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.

31 Gray hair is a crown of glory; it is attained along the path of righteousness.
