Proverbs 15:25-31 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

25. The Lord will destroy the house of the proud: and will strengthen the borders of the widow.

26. Evil thoughts are an abomination to the Lord: and pure words most beautiful shall be confirmed by him.

27. He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house: but he that hateth bribes shall live. By mercy and faith sins are purged away: and by the fear of the Lord every one declineth from evil.

28. The mind of the just studieth obedience: the mouth of the wicked over floweth with evils.

29. The Lord is far from the wicked: and he will hear the prayers of the just.

30. The light of the eyes rejoiceth the soul: a good name maketh the bones fat.

31. The ear that heareth the reproofs of life, shall abide in the midst of the wise.
