Proverbs 16:21-25

²¹Men call the wise and understanding evil: but they that are pleasing in speech shall hear more.

²²Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessors; but the instruction of fools is evil.

²³The heart of the wise will discern the things which proceed from his own mouth; and on his lips he will wear knowledge.

²⁴Good words are honeycombs, and the sweetness thereof is a healing of the soul.

²⁵There are ways that seem to be right to a man, but the end of them looks to the depth of hell.
