21 The wise of heart is called discerning, and sweetness of speech ¹increases persuasiveness.

22 Good sense is ²a fountain of life to him who has it, but the instruction of fools is folly.

23 ³The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.

24 ⁴Gracious words are like ⁵a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and ⁶health to the body.

25 There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way to death.^a

26 A worker's appetite works for him; his ⁷mouth urges him on.

27 ⁸A worthless man plots evil, and his speech^b is like ⁹a scorching fire.

28 ¹⁰A dishonest man spreads strife, and ¹¹a whisperer ¹²separates close friends.

29 A man of violence ¹³entices his neighbor and leads him in a way that is not good.

30 Whoever winks his eyes plans^c¹⁴dishonest things; he who ¹⁵purses his lips brings evil to pass.

31 ¹⁶Gray hair is ¹⁷a crown of glory; it ¹⁸is gained in a righteous life.

32 ¹⁹Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city.

33 ²⁰The lot is cast into the lap, but its every decision is ²¹from the LORD.
