Proverbs 16:20-22

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁰ He who gives attention to the word will ^(A)find good,
And ^(B)blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.
²¹ The ^(C)wise in heart will be called understanding,
And sweetness of ^[a]speech ^(D)increases ^[b]persuasiveness.
²² Understanding is a fountain of life to one who has it,
But the discipline of fools is folly.
