24 A wise person does things that will make his life better.He avoids whatever would cause his death.
25 The Lord will tear down the proud person’s house.But he will protect the property of a widow.
26 The Lord hates evil thoughts.But he is pleased with kind words.
27 A greedy person brings trouble to his family.But the person who can’t be paid to do wrong will live.
28 Good people think before they answer.But the wicked simply give evil answers.
29 The Lord does not listen to the wicked.But he hears the prayers of those who do right.
30 Good news makes you feel better.Your happiness will show in your eyes.
