Evil schemes are an abomination to Yahweh, but gracious words are pure.
In context
24The path of life leads upward for the prudent, to keep him from Sheol below. 25Yahweh tears down the house of the proud, but he sets firm the widow’s boundary. 26Evil schemes are an abomination to Yahweh, but gracious words are pure. 27Whoever grasps at unjust gain brings trouble on his house, but whoever hates bribes will live. 28The heart of the righteous weighs how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
