Proverbs 15:26-29

²⁶The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord: But the words of the pure are pleasant words.

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.
