Proverbs 15:23-28

²³A man is glad in the sentence of his mouth; and a covenable word is best.

²⁴The path of life is on a learned man; that he bow away from the last hell.

²⁵The Lord shall destroy the house of proud men; and he shall make steadfast the coasts of a widow.

²⁶Evil thoughts is abomination of the Lord; and a clean word most fair shall be made steadfast of him.

²⁷He that pursueth or followeth avarice, troubleth his house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. Sins be purged by mercy and faith; each man boweth away from evil by the dread of the Lord.

²⁸The soul of a just or rightwise man bethinketh obedience; the mouth of wicked men is full of evils.
