Proverbs 16:21
King James VersionSource notes
“The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.”
Context
18Pride before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
19Better of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.
20He that handleth a matter wisely shall find good: and whoso trusteth in the LORD, happy he.
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
22Understanding a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools folly.
23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24Pleasant words an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
