[3] The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.

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

[24] The way of life is above to the wise, that he may depart from hell beneath.

[25] The LORD will destroy the house of the proud: but he will establish the border of the widow.

[27] He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.^[4]

[28] The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth^[1] of the wicked poureth out evil things.
