Proverbs 15:27
Source: Septuagint
27A receiver of bribes destroys himself; But he that hates the receiving of bribes is safe. a By alms and by faithful dealings sins are purged away; But by the fear of the Lord everyone departs from evil.

25The Lord pulls down the houses of scorners; But he establishes the border of the widow.
26An unrighteous thought is abomination to the Lord; But the sayings of the pure are held in honor.
— Proverbs 15:27 —
28The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness; But the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. a The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord; And through them even enemies become friends.
29God is far from the ungodly; But he hearkens to the prayers of the righteous. a Better are small receipts with righteousness, Than abundant fruits with unrighteousness. b Let the heart of a man think justly, That his steps may be rightly ordered of God.
