PROVERBS 15:25-32

²⁵The LORD will root up the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

²⁶Evil devices are an abomination to the LORD: but pleasant words 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.

²⁹The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

³⁰The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and good tidings make the bones fat.

³¹The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life shall abide among the wise.

³²He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul: but he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
