Proverbs 15:24-26
New American Standard Bible
24 The (A)path of life leads upward for the wise,
So that he may keep away from [a]Sheol below.
25 The Lord will (B)tear down the house of the proud,
But He will (C)set the boundary of the (D)widow.
26 Evil plans are an abomination to the Lord,
But pleasant words are pure.
