Proverbs 15:26

God's Word

The thoughts of evil people are disgusting to the Lord, but pleasant words are pure to him.

See the chapter Copy

May the words from my mouth and the thoughts from my heart be acceptable to you, O Lord, my rock and my defender.

My heart is overflowing with good news. I will direct my song to the king. My tongue is a pen for a skillful writer.

Devious people are disgusting to the Lord, but he is delighted with those whose ways are innocent.

A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth, and a timely word—oh, how good!

The Lord tears down the house of an arrogant person, but he protects the property of widows.

Whoever is greedy for unjust gain brings trouble to his family, but whoever hates bribes will live.

Pleasant words are ⌞like⌟ honey from a honeycomb— sweet to the spirit and healthy for the body.

Foolish scheming is sinful, and a mocker is disgusting to everyone.

Jerusalem, wash the evil from your heart so that you may be rescued. Don’t continue making evil plans.

Evil thoughts, murder, adultery, ⌞other⌟ sexual sins, stealing, lying, and cursing come from within.
