Proverbs 15:25-33 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.

32. He that rejecteth instruction, despiseth his own soul: but he that yieldeth to reproof possesseth understanding.

33. The fear of the Lord is the lesson of wisdom: and humility goeth before glory.
