Proverbs 15:25-27

Revised Standard Version

²⁵ The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
    but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    the words of the pure are pleasing to him.^[a]
27 He who is greedy for unjust gain makes trouble for his household,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
