“The path of life leads upward for the wise, that he may avoid going down to Sheol.”
Proverbs 15:24 (BSB)
Context Reading
22Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed. 23A man takes joy in a fitting reply — and how good is a timely word! 24The path of life leads upward for the wise, that he may avoid going down to Sheol. 25The LORD tears down the house of the proud, but He protects the boundaries of the widow. 26The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.
