Proverbs 16:21-25 God's Word Translation (GW)

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

22. Understanding is a fountain of life to the one who has it,but stubborn fools punish themselves with their stupidity.

23. A wise person’s heart controls his speech,and what he says helps others learn.

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

25. There is a way that seems right to a person,but eventually it ends in death.
