25 The Lord snatches away the arrogant one’s house,but he preserves the widow’s boundaries.
26 The Lord detests evil plans,but gracious words are pure.
27 Those who acquire things unjustly gain trouble for their house,but those who hate bribes will live.
28 The righteous heart reflects before answering,but the wicked mouth blurts out evil.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked,but he listens to the prayers of the righteous.
30 Bright eyes give joy to the heart;good news strengthens the bones.
31 The ear that listens to life-giving correctiondwells among the wise.
