Proverbs 15:26-28

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁶ The Lord hates the thoughts of wicked people.
    But kind words please him.
²⁷ Anyone who cheats people to become rich
    will cause trouble for his family.
But anyone who refuses to accept bribes
    will live safely.
²⁸ Righteous people think carefully before they answer someone.
    But when wicked people speak, the result is only trouble.
