Proverbs 15:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ Plans of evil are an abomination of Yahweh,
    but gracious words are pure.
²⁷ He who makes trouble for his house is he who is greedy for unjust gain,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
²⁸ A heart^[a] of righteousness will ponder the answer,
    but a mouth of wickedness will pour out deceit.
