²³ A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth,
and a timely word—oh, how good!

²¹ The person who is truly wise is called understanding,
and speaking sweetly helps others learn.

²⁴ Pleasant words are ⌞like⌟ honey from a honeycomb—
sweet to the spirit and healthy for the body.

¹⁴ Whoever blesses his friend early in the morning with a loud voice—
his blessing is considered a curse.
