Proverbs 16:21-24

CLV(i) 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."
