Proverbs 15:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ Anyone who cheats people to become rich
    will cause trouble for his family.
But anyone who refuses to accept bribes
    will live safely.
²⁸ Righteous people think carefully before they answer someone.
    But when wicked people speak, the result is only trouble.
²⁹ The Lord does not answer the prayers of wicked people.
    But when righteous people pray, he listens.
