Proverbs 15:28-30

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁸ The heart of the righteous ^(A)ponders how to answer,
But the ^(B)mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
²⁹ The Lord is ^(C)far from the wicked,
But He ^(D)hears the prayer of the righteous.
^30 [a]Bright eyes gladden the heart;
Good news puts fat on the bones.
