Proverbs 16:20-24

He that handleth a matter
<01697>
wisely
<07919> (8688)
shall find
<04672> (8799)
good
<02896>_:
and whoso trusteth
<0982> (8802)
in the LORD
<03068>_,
happy
<0835>
[is] he. {handleth...: or, understandeth a matter}
The wise
<02450>
in heart
<03820>
shall be called
<07121> (8735)
prudent
<0995> (8737)_:
and the sweetness
<04986>
of the lips
<08193>
increaseth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>_.
Understanding
<07922>
[is] a wellspring
<04726>
of life
<02416>
unto him that hath
<01167>
it: but the instruction
<04148>
of fools
<0191>
[is] folly
<0200>_.
The heart
<03820>
of the wise
<02450>
teacheth
<07919> (8686)
his mouth
<06310>_,
and addeth
<03254> (8686)
learning
<03948>
to his lips
<08193>_.
{teacheth: Heb. maketh wise}
Pleasant
<05278>
words
<0561>
[are as] an honeycomb
<06688> <01706>_,
sweet
<04966>
to the soul
<05315>_,
and health
<04832>
to the bones
<06106>_.
