Proverbs 15:26-33

²⁶Evil devices are an abomination to the LORD; But pleasant words are pure.

²⁷He who is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he who hateth bribes shall live.

²⁸The heart of the righteous meditateth on his 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 dwell among the wise.

³²He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own life; But he that hearkeneth to rebuke getteth understanding.

³³The fear of the LORD guideth to wisdom, And before honor is humility.
