20He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: And whoso trusteth in the Lord, happy is he.
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent: And the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Understanding is a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: But the instruction of fools is folly.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, And addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
25There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, But the end thereof are the ways of death.
26He that laboureth laboureth for himself; For his mouth craveth it of him.
27An ungodly man diggeth up evil: And in his lips there is as a burning fire.
28A froward man soweth strife: And a whisperer separateth chief friends.
