Proverbs 15:24-27

Complete Jewish Bible

²⁴ For the prudent, the path of life goes upward;
    thus he avoids Sh’ol below.

²⁵ Adonai will pull down the houses of the proud,
    but preserves intact the widow’s boundaries.

²⁶ Adonai detests plans to do evil,
    but kind words are pure.

²⁷ The greedy for gain brings trouble to his home,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
