Proverbs 16:22-24

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²² Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who has it,
    but folly is the punishment of fools.
²³ The mind of the wise makes their speech judicious,
    and adds persuasiveness to their lips.
²⁴ Pleasant words are like a honeycomb,
    sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
