Proverbs 15:25-27

The Message

²⁵God smashes the pretensions of the arrogant;
he stands with those who have no standing.

²⁶God can’t stand evil scheming,
but he puts words of grace and beauty on display.

²⁷A greedy and grasping person destroys community;
those who refuse to exploit live and let live.
