Proverbs 16:21-24

21The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction.

22Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.

23The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.

24Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
