Proverbs 15:23-25

Evangelical Heritage Version

²³ Giving an apt response with his own mouth makes a person happy,
and a word at the right time—oh how good!
²⁴ The path of life leads upward for a person with insight,
so that he may turn away from hell^[a] below.
²⁵ The Lord tears down the house of the arrogant,
but he maintains the property line of a widow.
