Proverbs 15:25

In context

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. 27Whoever grasps at unjust gain brings trouble on his house, but whoever hates bribes will live.
