Proverbs 16:1-2, 21-24

Proverbs 16:1-2 CSB

The reflections of the heart belong to mankind, but the answer of the tongue is from the  LORD.  All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs motives. 

Proverbs 16:21-24 CSB

Anyone with a wise heart is called discerning, and pleasant speech  increases learning.  Insight is a fountain of life  for its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly. The heart of a wise person instructs his mouth; it adds learning to his speech.  , Pleasant words are a honeycomb:  sweet to the taste  and health to the body.
