Proverbs 15:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)

27 The greedy tear down their own house,
    but those who hate bribes will live.[a]
28 The heart of the just ponders a response,
    but the mouth of the wicked spews evil.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked,
    but hears the prayer of the just.
