26Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words are pure.
27He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.
28The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29Jehovah 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.
