Proverbs 15:26

A Conservative Version

Evil devices are an abomination to LORD, but pleasant words [are] pure.

See the chapter Copy

O Jerusalem, wash thy heart from wickedness, that thou may be saved. How long shall thine evil thoughts lodge within thee?

A man has joy in the answer of his mouth, and a word in due season, how good it is!

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my rock, and my redeemer.

My heart overflows with a good matter. I speak the things which I have made concerning the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

For from the heart comes forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, FALSE witnessings, revilings.

The thought of folly is sin. And the scoffer is an abomination to men.

LORD will root up the house of the proud, but he will establish the border of the widow.

He who is greedy of gain troubles his own house, but he who hates bribes shall live.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb: Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Those who are perverse in heart are an abomination to LORD, but such as are perfect in [their] way are his delight.
