Proverbs 16:23 Context
21The wise in heart shall be called prudent; and the sweetnesse of the lips increaseth learning. 22Understanding is a well-spring of life vnto him that hath it: but the instruction of fooles is folly. 23The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lippes. 24Pleasant words are as an honycombe, sweete to the soule, and health to the bones. 25There is a way that seemeth right vnto a man; but the end thereof are the wayes of death.
