24The path of life goeth upward for the wise, that he may depart from the nether-world beneath.
25The LORD will pluck up the house of the proud; but He will establish the border of the widow.
26The thoughts of wickedness are an abomination to the LORD; but words of pleasantness are pure.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
Proverbs 15
