Proverbs 15:27-29

Modern English Version

²⁷ He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house,
    but he who hates bribes will live.

²⁸ The heart of the righteous studies to answer,
    but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.

²⁹ The Lord is far from the wicked,
    but He hears the prayer of the righteous.
