Proverbs 16:21-23
World English Bible

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent.
    Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.
22 Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,
    but the punishment of fools is their folly.
23 The heart of the wise instructs his mouth,
    and adds learning to his lips.

21 The wise in heart shall be called prudent;
And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

And addeth learning to his lips.
