Proverbs

²¹The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning. ²²Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the correction of fools is their folly. ²³The heart of the wise instructeth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. ²⁴Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones. ²⁵There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. ²⁶The appetite of the labouring man laboureth for him; for his mouth craveth it of him. ²⁷A worthless man deviseth mischief: and in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
