20. He that giveth heed to the word shall find good; and whoso confideth in Jehovah, happy is he.

21. The wise in heart is called intelligent, and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

22. Wisdom is a fountain of life for him that hath it; but the instruction of fools is folly.

23. The heart of the wise maketh his mouth intelligent, and upon his lips increaseth learning.
