22Without counsel purposes are disappointed: but in the multitude of counselors they are established.
23A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good it is !
24The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
25The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
26The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.
