Proverbs 15:23-25

Amplified Bible

²³ 
A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer,
And how good and delightful is a word spoken at the right moment—how good it is!
²⁴ 
The [chosen] path of life leads upward for the wise,
That he may keep away from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) below.^(A)
25 
The Lord will tear down the house of the proud and arrogant (self-righteous),
But He will establish and protect the boundaries [of the land] of the [godly] widow.
