21 The wise in heart is called a man of understanding; and the sweetness of the lips shall increase doctrine.
22 Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise causes his mouth to be prudent, and with his lips he shall increase doctrine.
24 Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and medicine to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
26 The soul of him that labours, labours for himself; for his mouth craves it of him.
27 The man of Belial digs in search of evil, and in his lips there is as a burning fire.
