22. Without counsel [is] the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.
23. Joy [is] to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season--how good!
24. A path of life [is] on high for the wise, To turn aside from Sheol beneath.
25. The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.
26. An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness, And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness.
27. A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.
28. The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.
29. Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
30. The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart, A good report maketh fat the bone.
31. An ear that is hearing the reproof of life Doth lodge among the wise.
