Proverbs 16:21

²³The heart of the wise instructs his mouth, and adds learning to his lips. ²⁴Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

⁷The lips of the wise spread knowledge; not so with the heart of fools.

⁴The Lord GOD has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

⁹Perfume and incense bring joy to the heart; so does earnest counsel from a man’s friend.

¹⁷But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceful, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

²²All testified about him and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth; and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

⁴⁶The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

¹²behold, I have done according to your word. Behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has been no one like you before you, and after you none will arise like you.

¹⁰The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written blamelessly, words of truth.

⁸The wise in heart accept commandments, but a chattering fool will fall.
