Proverbs 15:23-25

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²³ To make an apt answer is a joy to a man,
    and a word in season, how good it is!
²⁴ The wise man’s path leads upward to life,
    that he may avoid Sheol beneath.
²⁵ The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
    but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
