Proverbs 16:20-22

New International Reader's Version

²⁰ If anyone pays attention to what they’re taught, they will succeed.
    Blessed is the person who trusts in the Lord.

²¹ Wise hearts are known for understanding what is right.
    Kind words make people want to learn more.

²² Understanding is like a fountain of life to those who have it.
    But foolish people are punished for the foolish things they do.
