about riches and wealth, happiness and joy, peace and security, a

meaningful life and eternal life.

For the foolish person devoid of understanding will choose to l ive a

life of folly, with many bad and unhealthy activities. Living a foolish

life will lead to many problems, troubles, and spiritual death. The

foolish person enjoys living a sinful life.

22 Without counsel, plans go awry,

But in the multitude of counselors they are established. (Proverbs

15:22) (NKJV)

22 Without counsel plans go wrong,

but with many advisers they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22) (RSV)

22 Plans fail for lack of counsel,

but with many advisers they succeed. (Proverbs 15:22) (NIV)

Plans are more likely to be successful if we take in and consider

multiple ideas, and multiple points of view. A wise leader will listen

to the advice/counsel and ideas of other people, compare and

analyze the options, and eventually decide on the best course of

action.

If plans are made on only one person's idea, the plan may or may not

be successful. That person has a tendency to think from one point of

view only. Hence, it is better to consider multiple points of views,

multiple ideas, multiple advices.

It is a good thing to be able to give a wise and appropriate reply.

This will be a joy and gladness to person who replies, and sweet tothe ears for the person receiving the reply. Wisdom in speech is very

important as one of the principles of wisdom.

We speak wisely when we speak seasonably: The answer of the

mouthwill be our credit and joy when it is pertinent and to the

purpose, and is spoken in due season, when it is needed and will be

regarded, and, as we say, hits the joint. Many a good word comes

short of doing the good it might have done, for want of being well-

timed.

and a word in season, how good it is! (Proverbs 15:23) (RSV)

23 A person finds joy in giving an apt reply

and how good is a timely word! (Proverbs 15:23) (NIV)

24 The way of life windsupward for the wise,

That he may turn away from hell[d]below. (Proverbs 15:24)

(NKJV)

24 The wise mans path leads upward to life,

that he may avoid Sheol beneath. (Proverbs 15:24) (RSV)

24 The path of life leads upward for the prudent

to keep them from going down to the realm of the dead.

(Proverbs 15:24) (NIV)

The wise and prudent person lives a life leading to eternal life,

leading to heaven. His path is away from spiritual death.

A good man sets his affections on things above, and deals in those

things. His conversation is in heaven; his way leads directly thither;

there his treasure is, above, out of the reach of enemies, above the

changes of this lower world. A good man is truly noble and great; his

desires and designs are high, and he lives above the common rate of

other men. It is above the capacity and out of the sight of foolishmen.

25 The LORDwill destroy the house of the proud,

But He will establish the boundary of the widow. (Proverbs

15:25) (NKJV)

25 The LORDtears down the house of the proud,

but maintains the widows boundaries. (Proverbs 15:25) (RSV)

25 The LORDtears down the house of the proud,

but he sets the widows boundary stones in place. (Proverbs

15:25) (NIV)

God protects the assets of the lowly citizens because God loves the

humble people. God hates the proud person, and will punish the

proud by destruction of his business empire, his huge estate, his vast

properties. To be blessed by God, we must appreciate God andremain humble. We must not be proud and conceited when God bless

us with riches and wealth. If we are blessed with greater riches and

wealth as compared to other people, we must be ever so thankful

and express our continual gratitude to God, acknowledging God for

the blessings, and always remain humble.

(Proverbs 15:26)

(RSV)

Good thoughts and good words are liked by God. God likes people

with pure and noble thoughts, wise and gracious words. Gracious

words should be spoken to other people. It is no point to speak good

only to God and speak wickedly to other people. For God's greatest

commandments are to love our God, and to love our neighbours.

God hates the wicked thoughts of the wicked people. Not only Godhates the wrong doings which are already committed, God also hates

the evil and deceitful thoughts. Because wrong doings start from the

evil heart and the evil thoughts.

The former part of this verse speaks of thoughts, the latter of words,

but they come all to one; for thoughts are words to God, and words

The proud, that magnify themselves, bid defiance to the God above

them and trample on all about them, are such as God resists andwill

destroy, not them only, but their houses, which they are proud of and

are confident of the continuance and perpetuity of. Pride is the ruin of

multitudes.

26 The thoughts of the wickedare

an abomination to the LORD,But the words of the pure arepleasant. (Proverbs 15:26) (NKJV)

26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD,

the words of the pure are pleasing to him.[b]

26 The LORDdetests the thoughts of the wicked,

but gracious words are pure in his sight. (Proverbs 15:26)

are judged of by the thoughts from which they proceed, so that,

1. The thoughtsand words of the wicked, which are, like themselves,

wicked, which aim at mischief, and have some ill tendency or

other, are an abomination to the Lord; he is displeased at them and

will reckon for them. The thoughts of wicked men, for the most part,

are such as God hates, and are an offence to him.

We must practice fair business practices and ethics in business and

work. The person who takes bribes will somehow bias positively

toward the bribe giver, hence, breeding an unfair business practice.

Other forms of unfairness are also not acceptable. Business practice

should be on win-win basis, all contracts and agreements should be

fair and win-win for all parties concerned.
