Proverbs 16:21-24

EJ2000(i) 21 ¶ The wise in heart is called a man of understanding; and the sweetness of the lips shall increase doctrine. 22 ¶ Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it, but the instruction of fools is folly. 23 ¶ The heart of the wise causes his mouth to be prudent, and with his lips he shall increase doctrine. 24 ¶ Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and medicine to the bones.
