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.
