25 The Lord tears down the house of (A)the proud
    but (B)maintains (C)the widow's boundaries.
26 (D)The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    but (E)gracious words are pure.
27 Whoever is (F)greedy for unjust gain (G)troubles his own household,
    but he who hates (H)bribes will live.
28 The heart of the righteous (I)ponders how to answer,
    but (J)the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
29 The Lord is (K)far from the wicked,
    but he (L)hears the prayer of the righteous.
