20 He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoever trusteth in the LORD, happy is he.
21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22 Understanding is a well-spring of life to him that hath it: but the instruction of fools is folly.
23 The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24 Pleasant words are as a honey-comb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25 There is a way that seemeth right to a man, but the end of it is the ways of death.
26 He that laboreth laboreth for himself; for his mouth craveth it of him.
