23 A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And ^aa word spoken in due season, how good it is!

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.

26 ^aThe thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
^bBut the words of the pure are pleasant.

27 ^aHe who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.

Proverbs 15:25

The widow - Here, as elsewhere Deuteronomy 10:18; Psalms 68:5, the widow, as the most extreme type of desolation, stands as the representative of a class safer in their poverty under the protection of the Lord, than the proud in the haughtiness of their strength.
