Proverbs 15:21-26

²¹The ways of a foolish man are void of sense; but a wise man proceeds on his way aright.

²²They that honour not councils put off deliberation; but counsel abides in the hearts of counsellors.

²³A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common weal.

²⁴The thoughts of the wise are ways of life, that he may turn aside and escape from hell.

²⁵The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; but he establishes the border of the widow.

²⁶An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; but the sayings of the pure are held in honour.
