Proverbs 16:21

19 It is better to be lowly in spirit among the humble than to divide the spoil with the proud.

20 Whoever heeds instruction will find success, and blessed is he who trusts in the LORD.

The wise in heart are called discerning, and pleasant speech promotes instruction.

22 Understanding is a fountain of life to its possessor, but the discipline of fools is folly.

23 The heart of the wise man instructs his mouth and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
