Proverbs 15:26-28

Modern English Version

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

²⁷ He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house,
    but he who hates bribes will live.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous studies to answer,
    but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
