Proverbs 15:26-29

²⁶Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.

²⁷He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.

²⁸The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.

²⁹The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.
