20
He who gives heed to the word will prosper, and happy is he who trusts in the LORD.
21
The wise of heart is called a man of discernment, and pleasant speech increases persuasiveness.

The mind of the wise makes his speech judicious, and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
24
Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
