Proverbs 4:22

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

For they are life to those that find them, and health to all flesh.

See the chapter Copy

There is that promiseth, and is pricked as it were with a sword of conscience: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Hear, O my son, and receive my words, that years of life may be multiplied to thee.

For it shall be health to thy navel, and moistening to thy bones.

Behold, I will close their wounds and give them health, and I will cure them: and I will reveal to them the prayer of peace and truth.

And he taught me, and said: Let thy heart receive my words, keep my commandments, and thou shalt live.

And there shall be life to thy soul, and grace to thy mouth.

He that shall find me, shall find life, and shall have salvation from the Lord:

Well ordered words are as a honeycomb: sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.
