God’s Word Translation
Proverbs 16:21-24
21The person who is truly wise is called understanding, and speaking sweetly helps others learn.
22Understanding is a fountain of life to the one who has it, but stubborn fools punish themselves with their stupidity.
23A wise person’s heart controls his speech, and what he says helps others learn.
24Pleasant words are ⌞like⌟ honey from a honeycomb— sweet to the spirit and healthy for the body.
