The reading changes at midnight Central Time, and it stays the same all day.

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

Proverbs 16:24King James Version

Plain English

"Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones." Kind, fitting words do good the way honey is sweet, and health to the bones means they strengthen the whole person. The proverb praises words that help, not flattery that hides the truth.

Devotional

A spoon of honey on a tired afternoon is a small kindness to the body. Pleasant words work in that quiet way for a worn-out soul. They do not replace a doctor, and they are not empty sugar. A true kind sentence can be sweet to the soul and health to the bones.
