Proverbs 16:21-24
21The wiseH2450 in heartH3820 shall be calledH7121 prudentH995: and the sweetnessH4986 of the lipsH8193 increasethH3254 learningH3948.
22UnderstandingH7922 is a wellspringH4726 of lifeH2416 unto him that hathH1167 it: but the instructionH4148 of foolsH191 is follyH200.
23The heartH3820 of the wiseH2450 teachethH7919 his mouthH6310, and addethH3254 learningH3948 to his lipsH8193.1
24PleasantH5278 wordsH561 are as an honeycombH1706H6688, sweetH4966 to the soulH5315, and healthH4832 to the bonesH6106.
