Proverbs 15:27

A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others

²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD, but gracious words are pure. ²⁷ He who profits illicitly troubles his own house,
But he who hates bribes will live.
²⁸ The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
