25 The Lord tears down the house of the proud,
    but maintains the widow’s boundaries.
26 The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord,
    the words of the pure are pleasing to him.[a]
27 He who is greedy for unjust gain makes trouble for his household,
    but he who hates bribes will live.
