21 ^aFolly is joy to him who is destitute of¹ discernment,
^bBut a man of understanding walks uprightly. ‡

22 ^aWithout counsel, plans go awry,
But in the multitude of counselors they are established. ‡

24 ^aThe way of life winds upward for the wise,
That he may ^bturn away from hell below. ‡

25 ^aThe Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
But ^bHe will establish the boundary of the widow. ‡
