Proverbs 16:20-24

Prov.16.20-Prov.16.24

20Whoever gives heed to instruction prospers, and blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord. 21The wise in heart are called discerning, and gracious words promote instruction. 22Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools. 23The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction. 24Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
