Proverbs
Chapters 15:27-33
New International Version Anglicized
27The greedy bring ruin to their households,but the one who hates bribes will live.
28The heart of the righteous weighs its answers,but the mouth of the wicked gushes evil.
29The Lord is far from the wicked,but he hears the prayer of the righteous.
30Light in a messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart,and good news gives health to the bones.
31Whoever heeds life-giving correctionwill be at home among the wise.
32Those who disregard discipline despise themselves,but the one who heeds correction gains understanding.
33Wisdom’s instruction is to fear the Lord,and humility comes before honour.
