NASB
"A man has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!"
— Proverbs 15:23, NASB
“A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!”
“A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it! ”
“Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!”
“A person has joy in giving an appropriate answer, and a word at the right time– how good it is!”
A wise son makes a father glad, But a foolish man despises his mother.
Folly is joy to him who lacks sense, But a man of understanding walks straight.
Without consultation, plans are frustrated, But with many counselors they succeed.
A man has joy in an apt answer, And how delightful is a timely word!
The path of life leads upward for the wise That he may keep away from Sheol below.
The LORD will tear down the house of the proud, But He will establish the boundary of the widow.
Evil plans are an abomination to the LORD, But pleasant words are pure.
