Proverbs 16:20-24

CLV(i) 20 He who contemplates on the word shall find good, And the one trusting in Yahweh, happy is he." 21 The one wise of heart shall be called an understanding man, And sweetness of lips shall add to his influence." 22 Intelligence is a fountain of life to its possessors, And folly is the flogging of the foolish." 23 The heart of a wise man gives his mouth intelligence, And to his lips it adds influence." 24 Pleasant sayings are honey of the comb, Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones."
