Proverbs 15:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ The plans of the wicked are disgusting^[a] to the Lord,
but pleasant words are pure to him.
²⁷ Someone who is greedy for gain brings trouble to his own household,
but a person who hates bribes will live.
²⁸ The heart of a righteous person ponders his answer,
but the mouth of a wicked person gushes evil.
