Proverbs 15:21-24

²¹Foolish people are happy to continually act foolishly; those who have good sense do what is right.

²²If there is no one to give us good advice, we will not accomplish what we are planning to do; but when we have many good advisors, we will succeed.

²³People rejoice when they are able to reply well to what others have asked them; truly, it is very delightful to be able to say the right thing at the right time.

²⁴Wise people walk on a road that leads up to a long life; they do not walk on a road that leads down to the place where dead people are.
