Proverbs 15:23-25
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 15

23A person has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word! 24The path of life leads upward for the wise, So that he may keep away from Sheol below. 25The Lord will tear down the house of the proud, But He will set the boundary of the widow.
King James Version

25The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
