Proverbs 16:22-24
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 16
22
Understanding is a fountain of life to those who have it,
But the discipline of fools is foolishness.
23
The heart of the wise instructs his mouth
And adds persuasiveness to his lips.
24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
Sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
King James Version
Chapter 16
22
Understanding
is
a wellspring of life unto him that hath it: but the instruction of fools
is
folly.
23
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.
24
Pleasant words
are as
an honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 16
22
Insight is a fountain of life for its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.
23
The heart of a wise person instructs his mouth; it adds learning to his speech.
24
Pleasant words are a honeycomb: sweet to the taste and health to the body.
New Living Translation
Chapter 16
22
Discretion is a life-giving fountain to those who possess it,
but discipline is wasted on fools.
23
From a wise mind comes wise speech;
the words of the wise are persuasive.
24
Kind words are like honey —
sweet to the soul and healthy for the body.
English Standard Version
Chapter 16
22
Good sense is a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.
23
The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
24
Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
New International Version
Chapter 16
22
Prudence is a fountain of life to the prudent, but folly brings punishment to fools.
23
The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instruction.
24
Gracious words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.
New King James Version
Chapter 16
22
Understanding
is
a wellspring of life to him who has it.
But the correction of fools
is
folly.
23
The heart of the wise teaches his mouth,
And adds learning to his lips.
24
Pleasant words
are like
a honeycomb,
Sweetness to the soul and health to the bones.
