NASB
"A worthless man digs up evil, While his words are like scorching fire."
— Proverbs 16:27, NASB
“An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.”
“A worthless man deviseth mischief; And in his lips there is as a scorching fire. ”
“A worthless man devises mischief. His speech is like a scorching fire.”
“A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and his slander is like a scorching fire.”
Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
A worker's appetite works for him, For his hunger urges him on.
A worthless man digs up evil, While his words are like scorching fire.
A perverse man spreads strife, And a slanderer separates intimate friends.
A man of violence entices his neighbor And leads him in a way that is not good.
He who winks his eyes does so to devise perverse things; He who compresses his lips brings evil to pass.
