Proverbs 15:26-28

New King James Version

^26 (A)The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
^(B)But the words of the pure are pleasant.

^27 (C)He who is greedy for gain troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous ^(D)studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.
