Proverbs 15:25-30

²⁵Yahweh tears down the houses of proud people, but he protects the property of widows.

²⁶Yahweh detests what wicked people are thinking about doing; but when people say what is kind, he considers those words to be pure.

²⁷Those who try hard to get money by acting dishonestly cause trouble for their family; those who refuse to accept bribes will live for a long time.

²⁸Righteous/Good people think carefully before they answer what others ask them; wicked people very quickly say what is evil.

²⁹Yahweh does not listen MTY to what wicked people request him to do; he listens to righteous people when they pray.

³⁰If people have a smile on their faces, it makes them/others happy, and when people hear good news, it refreshes their spirits MTY.
