Proverbs 15:24-28 New Living Translation (NLT)

24. The path of life leads upward for the wise;they leave the grave behind.

25. The lord tears down the house of the proud,but he protects the property of widows.

26. The lord detests evil plans,but he delights in pure words.

27. Greed brings grief to the whole family,but those who hate bribes will live.

28. The heart of the godly thinks carefully before speaking;the mouth of the wicked overflows with evil words.
