Proverbs 15:25-30 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

25. The Lord will demolish the house of the arrogant. And He will make firm the borders of the widow.

26. Evil intentions are an abomination to the Lord. And pure conversation, most beautiful, shall be confirmed by him.

27. Whoever pursues avarice disturbs his own house. But whoever hates bribes shall live. Through mercy and faith, sins are purged. But through the fear of the Lord, each one turns aside from evil.

28. The mind of the just meditates on obedience. The mouth of the impious overflows with evils.

29. The Lord is distant from the impious. And he will heed the prayers of the just.

30. The light of the eyes rejoices the soul. A good reputation fattens the bones.
