Proverbs 16:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² Wisdom is a fountain of life to one who possesses it,
    but folly is the punishment of fools.
²³ A wise man’s heart guides his mouth,
    and his lips increase learning.
²⁴ Pleasing words are like a honeycomb,
    sweet to the soul and affording health to the body.^[a]
