Proverbs 16:21

Proverbs 16:21

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

Wisdom in the heart produces a reputation for prudence — thoughtful, careful, practical wisdom. And the manner of speech matters too: sweet, clear, pleasant words increase a person's effectiveness as a teacher and influence. Wisdom is both inner (heart) and outer (lips).

Memory phrase: Sweet words grow wisdom.

Talk about it: How do kind and clear words help people learn better?

Prayer: God, make my heart wise and my words sweet.
