26 The Lord detests the thoughts of the
wicked,
but gracious words are pure in his
sight.
27 The greedy
bring ruin to their households,
but the one who hates bribes will
live.
28 The heart of
the righteous weighs its answers,
but the mouth of the wicked gushes
evil.
29 The Lord is far from the wicked,
but he hears the prayer of the
righteous.
30 Light in a
messenger’s eyes brings joy to the heart,
and good news gives health to the
bones.
31 Whoever heeds
life-giving correction
will be at home among the wise.
32 Those who
disregard discipline despise themselves,
but the one who heeds correction gains
understanding.
33 Wisdom’s
instruction is to fear the Lord,
and humility comes before
honor.
