Proverbs 15:22-29

²²Where there is no counsel, purposes are disappointed; But in the multitude of counsellors they are established.

²³A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!

²⁴To the wise the way of life goeth upward, That he may depart from Sheol beneath.

²⁵Jehovah will root up the house of the proud; But he will establish the border of the widow.

²⁶Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words are pure.

²⁷He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.

²⁸The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

²⁹Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
