Proverbs 16:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ The one who pays heed to instruction prospers,
    and blessed^[a] is he who trusts in the Lord.
²¹ A wise man is esteemed for being pleasant,
    and his friendly words increase his influence.
²² Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who possesses it,
    but folly is the punishment of fools.
