Proverbs 15:23-25

Holman Christian Standard Bible

²³ A man takes joy in giving an answer;^[a]
and a timely word—how good that is!^(A)

²⁴ For the discerning the path of life leads upward,
so that he may avoid going down to Sheol.

²⁵ The Lord destroys the house of the proud,
but He protects the widow’s territory.^(B)
