Proverbs 16:20-22

The Voice

²⁰ Those devoted to instruction will prosper in goodness;
    those who trust in the Eternal will experience His favor.
²¹ The wise at heart have a reputation for understanding;
    pleasant words make the lips more persuasive.
²² Understanding for those who have it is a spring of life,
    but it is pointless to try and instruct a fool.
