Proverbs 15:27-29

New Century Version

²⁷ Greedy people bring trouble to their families,
    but the person who can’t be paid to do wrong will live.

²⁸ Good people think before they answer,
    but the wicked simply pour out evil.

²⁹ The Lord does not listen to the wicked,
    but he hears the prayers of those who do right.
