Proverbs 15:26

Tree of Life Version

Evil thoughts are an abomination to Adonai, but pleasant words are pure.

See the chapter Copy

O Jerusalem, purify your heart from wickedness, so that you may be saved. How long will your wicked thoughts lodge within you?

A person has joy in an appropriate answer— how good is a timely word.

Also keep Your servant from willful sins. May they not have dominion over me. Then I will be blameless, free from great transgression.

For the music director, according to “Lilies.” Of the sons of Korah, a contemplative song, a love song.

For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false witness, and slander.

A foolish scheme is sin, and people detest a mocker.

Adonai tears down a proud man’s house, but He maintains the widow’s boundary.

One greedy for gain troubles his household, but whoever hates bribes will live.

Pleasant words are honeycomb— sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Perverse hearts are an abomination to Adonai. His favor is on those blameless in their ways.
