For the first…”

In context
22They that honor not councils put off deliberation; But counsel abides in the hearts of counselors.
23A bad man will by no means attend to counsel; Neither will he say anything seasonable, or good for the common weal.
— Proverbs 15:24 —
25The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; But he establishes the border of the widow.
26An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; But the sayings of the pure are held in honor.
