Proverbs 15:24


Proverbs 15:23 Proverbs 15:24 (KJV) Proverbs 15:25
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word [spoken] in due season, how good [is it]!
The way of life [is] above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.
The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.
