Proverbs 16:22


Proverbs 16:21 Proverbs 16:22 (KJV) Proverbs 16:23
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Understanding [is] a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools [is] folly.
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
