Proverbs 15:25-27

New International Reader's Version

²⁵ The Lord tears down the proud person’s house.
    But he keeps the widow’s property safe.

²⁶ The Lord hates the thoughts of sinful people.
    But he considers kind words to be pure.

²⁷ Those who always want more bring ruin to their households.
    But a person who refuses to be paid to lie will live.
