Proverbs 15:28

A Wise Son Brings Blessings To Others

²⁷ The covetous man rooteth up his own house; but whoso hateth rewards, shall live. ²⁸ A righteous man museth in his mind how to do good; but the mind of the ungodly imagineth how he may do harm. ²⁹ The LORD is far from the ungodly; but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
