Proverbs 16:19-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

19. Better to be lowly in spirit with the poor, Than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20. He who acts wisely concerning the Word finds good, And blessed is he who trusts in יהוה.

21. The wise-hearted is called discerning, And sweetness of lips increases learning.

22. Understanding is a fountain of life to him who has it, But the disciplining of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise gives discretion to his mouth, And he increases learning to his lips.
