Proverbs 16:21-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

21. The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and he that is sweet in words shall attain to greater things.

22. Knowledge is a fountain of life to him that possesseth it: the instruction of fools is foolishness.

23. The heart of the wise shall instruct his mouth: and shall add grace to his lips.

24. Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
