Proverbs 15:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ The Lord hates the thoughts of sinful people.
    But he considers kind words to be pure.

²⁷ Those who always want more bring ruin to their households.
    But a person who refuses to be paid to lie will live.

²⁸ The hearts of those who do right think about how they will answer.
    But the mouths of those who do wrong pour out evil.
