Proverbs 15:27-29

Lexham English Bible

²⁷ He who makes trouble for his house is he who is greedy for unjust gain,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
²⁸ A heart^[a] of righteousness will ponder the answer,
    but a mouth of wickedness will pour out deceit.
²⁹ Yahweh is far from the wicked,
    but the prayers of the righteous he will hear.
