Proverbs 16:25-29
King James Version
25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 He that laboureth laboureth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
27 An ungodly man diggeth up evil: and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28 A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
29 A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

26 The appetite of laborers works for them;
their hunger drives them on.

And (D)a whisperer separates the best of friends.

And leads him in a way that is not good.
