21 The wise of heart is esteemed for discernment,and pleasing speech gains a reputation for learning.
22 Good sense is a fountain of life to those who have it,but folly is the training of fools.
23 The heart of the wise makes for eloquent speech,and increases the learning on their lips.
24 Pleasing words are a honeycomb,sweet to the taste and invigorating to the bones.
25 Sometimes a way seems right,but the end of it leads to death!
26 The appetite of workers works for them,for their mouths urge them on.
27 Scoundrels are a furnace of evil,and their lips are like a scorching fire.
