Proverbs 15:25-29

New King James Version

²⁵^(A)The Lord will destroy the house of the proud,
But ^(B)He will establish the boundary of the widow.

²⁶^(C)The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
^(D)But the words of the pure are pleasant.

²⁷^(E)He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.

²⁸The heart of the righteous ^(F)studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.

²⁹^(G)The Lord is far from the wicked,
But ^(H)He hears the prayer of the righteous.

Proverbs 15:25-29

Young's Literal Translation

²⁵The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.

²⁶An abomination to Jehovah [are] thoughts of wickedness, And pure [are] sayings of pleasantness.

²⁷A dishonest gainer is troubling his house, And whoso is hating gifts liveth.

²⁸The heart of the righteous meditateth to answer, And the mouth of the wicked uttereth evil things.

²⁹Far [is] Jehovah from the wicked, And the prayer of the righteous He heareth.
