Proverbs 15:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ He who is greedy for dishonest gain brings disaster on a house,
    but he who refuses to accept bribes will have life.
²⁸ The righteous man reflects before answering,
    but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
²⁹ The Lord keeps his distance from the wicked,
    but he listens to the prayer of the righteous.
