Proverbs 15:22-24

Amplified Bible

²² 
Without consultation and wise advice, plans are frustrated,
But with many counselors they are established and succeed.
²³ 
A man has joy in giving an appropriate answer,
And how good and delightful is a word spoken at the right moment—how good it is!
²⁴ 
The [chosen] path of life leads upward for the wise,
That he may keep away from Sheol (the nether world, the place of the dead) below.^(A)
