Proverbs 16:21

In context

19Better to be lowly in spirit with the humble than to divide spoil with the proud. 20Whoever attends to a word will find good, and happy is the one who trusts in Yahweh. 21The wise in heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech adds to learning. 22Good sense is a fountain of life to the one who has it, but the discipline of the senseless is folly. 23The heart of the wise makes his mouth wise and adds learning to his lips.
