20 He who acts wisely concerning the Word finds good, And blessed is he who trusts in יהוה.
21 The wise-hearted is called discerning, And sweetness of lips increases learning.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, But the disciplining of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise gives discretion to his mouth, And he increases learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet to the being, and healing to the bones.
25 There is a way that seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death.
26 He who labours, labours for himself, For his mouth drives him on.
