²⁶ The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

¹⁴ Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.

¹⁸ An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

¹⁹ A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

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

⁹ The thought of foolishness is sin: and the scorner is an abomination to men.
