Proverbs 16:21-24
21The 1wise in heart will be called understanding, And sweetness of 2speech 3increases 4persuasiveness.22Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it, But the discipline of fools is foolishness.23The 5heart of the wise instructs his mouth And adds 6persuasiveness to his lips.247Pleasant words are a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul and 8healing to the bones.
