The path of life leads upward for the prudent, to keep him from Sheol below.
In context
22Plans come to nothing without counsel, but with many counselors they stand. 23A man finds joy in the answer of his mouth—and a word in its season, how good it is! 24The path of life leads upward for the prudent, to keep him from Sheol below. 25Yahweh tears down the house of the proud, but he sets firm the widow’s boundary. 26Evil schemes are an abomination to Yahweh, but gracious words are pure.
