New International Version

⁴The soothing tongue^(A) is a tree of life,^(B)
but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.^(C)

Proverbs 15:4

King James Version

⁴A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

²⁴Gracious words are a honeycomb,^(A)
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.^(B)

²⁴Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

²¹The tongue has the power of life and death,^(A)
and those who love it will eat its fruit.^(B)

²¹Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
