Proverbs 15:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Those who always want more bring ruin to their households.
    But a person who refuses to be paid to lie will live.

²⁸ The hearts of those who do right think about how they will answer.
    But the mouths of those who do wrong pour out evil.

²⁹ The Lord is far away from those who do wrong.
    But he hears the prayers of those who do right.
