Proverbs 16:21-23

EasyEnglish Bible

²¹ If you have wise thoughts,
    people will say that you know what is right.
If you speak kind words,
    people will accept your teaching.
²² Wisdom is like a spring of fresh water that gives life to those who have it.
    But the silly things that fools do brings them punishment.
²³ Wise people think carefully and they speak wise words.
    Then other people will accept their teaching.
