Proverbs 15:26-28

21st Century King James Version

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

²⁷ He that is greedy for gain troubleth his own house, but he that hateth bribes shall live.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous studieth how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
