“Wisdom is a fountain of life
To whoever has it.
But folly is the punishment of fools.
The mind of the wise
Makes their speech judicious.
The mind of the wise
Adds persuasiveness to their lips.
Pleasant words are like
A honeycomb.
Pleasant words are like
Sweetness to the soul.
Pleasant words are like
Health to the body.
Sometimes there is a way
That seems to be right.
But in the end
It is the way to death.
The appetite of workers works for them.
Their hunger urges them on.”
The fountain of life is wisdom. On the other hand, the punishment for fools is their own folly. The wise person will have judicious speech and persuasive lips. Their words are pleasant like a honeycomb. Theses pleasant words add sweetness to the soul and health to the body. You have to watch out for the way that seems like it is right, but actually is the way to death. If workers are hungry they will work harder.
