Proverbs 15:26

King James Version (Oxford) 1769

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: But the words of the pure are pleasant words.

See the chapter Copy

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

A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: And a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

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

My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: My tongue is The pen of a ready writer.

For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

The thought of foolishness is sin: And the scorner is an abomination to men.

The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: But he will establish the border of the widow.

He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth gifts shall live.

Pleasant words are as an honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: But such as are upright in their way are his delight.
