Proverbs 16:20-24

20If you listen carefully to good teaching, you will do well. If you trust in the Lord, you are in a happy place.

21If you have wise thoughts, people will say that you know what is right. If you speak kind words, people will accept your teaching.

22Wisdom is like a spring of fresh water that gives life to those who have it. But the silly things that fools do brings them punishment.

23Wise people think carefully and they speak wise words. Then other people will accept their teaching.

24Kind words are as sweet as honey. They also bring health and strength.
