28 The heart of the righteous (A)ponders how to answer,
    but (B)the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
29 The Lord is (C)far from the wicked,
    but he (D)hears the prayer of the righteous.
30 (E)The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
    and (F)good news refreshes[a] the bones.
31 (G)The ear that listens to (H)life-giving reproof
    will dwell among the wise.
