Proverbs 16:22-29 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

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.

27. The wicked man diggeth evil, and in his lips is a burning fire.
