Proverbs 16:20-22

Lexham English Bible

²⁰ He who is attentive to a matter will find goodness,
    and he who trusts in Yahweh, his own happiness.
²¹ The wise of heart^[a] is called perceptive,
    but he who is pleasant of lips will increase persuasiveness.
²² A fountain of life is wisdom for its owner,^[b]
    but the instruction^[c] of fools is folly.
