Proverbs 15:26-28

American Standard Version

²⁶ Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah;
But ^[a]pleasant words are pure.
²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
But he that hateth bribes shall live.
²⁸ The heart of the righteous studieth to answer;
But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
