21 La necedad es alegría al falto de entendimiento: mas el hombre entendido enderezará su proceder.
22 Los pensamientos son frustrados donde no hay consejo; mas en la multitud de consejeros se afirman.
23 Alégrase el hombre con la respuesta de su boca: y la palabra á su tiempo, ¡cuán buena es!
24 El camino de la vida [es] hacia arriba al entendido, para apartarse del infierno abajo.
25 Jehová asolará la casa de los soberbios: mas él afirmará el término de la viuda.
