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.
25Yahweh tears down the houses of proud people, but he protects the property of widows.
26Yahweh detests what wicked people are thinking about doing; but when people say what is kind, he considers those words to be pure.
