Proverbs 16:20-23 (Listen)

20 Whoever gives thought to the word1 pwill discover good,

and blessed is he qwho trusts in the Lord.

21 The wise of heart is called discerning,

and sweetness of speech rincreases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is sa fountain of life to him who has it,

but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 tThe heart of the wise makes his speech judicious

and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
