Proverbs 15:27-32

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.

³²He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
