Proverbs 16:22-24

Revised Standard Version

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