Proverbs

²⁶Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words are pure. ²⁷He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live. ²⁸The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. ²⁹Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous. ³⁰The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat. ³¹The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise. ³²He that refuseth correction despiseth his own soul; But he that hearkeneth to reproof getteth understanding.
