Proverbs 15:25-31

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.

²⁹The Lord is far from wicked men; and he shall hear the prayers of just or rightwise men.

³⁰The light of eyes maketh glad the soul; good fame maketh fat the bones.

³¹The ear that heareth the blamings of life, shall dwell in the midst of wise men.
