Proverbs 15:23-25

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone,
    and a word in season, how good it is!
²⁴ For the wise the path of life leads upward,
    in order to avoid Sheol below.
²⁵ The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
    but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
