Proverbs 16:20-22

Expanded Bible

²⁰ Whoever ·listens to what is taught [has insight] will ·succeed [prosper],
and whoever trusts the Lord will be ·happy [blessed].

²¹ The wise of heart ·are known for their [^Lwill be called] understanding.
Their ·pleasant [sweet] words ·make them better teachers [enhance their teaching].

²² ·Understanding is like a fountain which gives life to those who use it [^LOne who possesses insight is a fountain of life],
but ·foolishness brings punishment to fools [or the instruction of foolish people is folly].
