23 The heart of the wise teacheth
23 The heart of the wise makes his speech judicious and adds persuasiveness to his lips.
23 They make a lot of sense, these wise folks; whenever they speak, their reputation increases.
23 The heart of the wise teaches his mouth, And adds learning to his lips.
23 From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive.
