Proverbs 15:26

The Scriptures 1998

Evil thoughts are an abomination to יהוה, But pleasant words are clean.

See the chapter Copy

O Yerushalayim, wash your heart from evil, and be saved. Till when would your wicked thoughts remain within you?

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And how good is a word spoken in its season!

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be pleasing before You, O יהוה, my rock and my redeemer.

My heart is overflowing with a goodly word; I address my works to the Sovereign; My tongue is the pen of a speedy writer.

“For out of the heart come forth wicked reasonings, murders, adulteries, whorings, thefts, false witnessings, slanders.

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

יהוה tears down the house of the proud, And He sets up the boundary of the widow.

He who is greedy for gain, troubles his own house, But he who hates bribes lives.

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, Sweet to the being, and healing to the bones.

The perverse of heart are an abomination to יהוה, But the perfect in the Way are His delight.
