26. Evil devices are an abomination to Jehovah; But pleasant words are pure.
27. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.
28. The heart of the righteous studieth to answer; But the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
29. Jehovah is far from the wicked; But he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
30. The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart; And good tidings make the bones fat.
31. The ear that hearkeneth to the reproof of life Shall abide among the wise.
