Mishle 16:24-26

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁴ Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the nefesh, and marpeh (healing) to the atzmot (bones).

²⁵ There is a derech that seemeth yashar (right) before an ish, but its acharit (future, latter end) is the drakhei mavet.

²⁶ The nefesh (appetite) of the laborer works for him, for his peh (mouth) of hunger driveth him on.
