Proverbs 15:27

A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others

²⁶ The thoughts of the evil man are an abomination to Jehovah; but pure words are pleasant. ²⁷ He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live. ²⁸ The heart of a righteous man studieth to answer; but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
