Proverbs 16:21-23
Lexham English Bible

21 The wise of heart[a] is called perceptive,
    but he who is pleasant of lips will increase persuasiveness.
22 A fountain of life is wisdom for its owner,[b]
    but the instruction[c] of fools is folly.
23 The heart[d] of the wise will make his mouth judicious,
    and upon his lips, it[e] will add persuasiveness.
