Proverbs 16:21-24 Modern English Version (MEV)

21. The wise in heart will be called prudent,and the sweetness of the lips increases learning.

22. Understanding is a wellspring of life to him who has it,but the instruction of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,and adds learning to his lips.

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