Proverbs 15:27-29

²⁷He that pursueth or followeth avarice, troubleth his house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. Sins be purged by mercy and faith; each man boweth away from evil by the dread of the Lord.

²⁸The soul of a just or rightwise man bethinketh obedience; the mouth of wicked men is full of evils.

²⁹The Lord is far from wicked men; and he shall hear the prayers of just or rightwise men.
