The heart of the righteous weighs how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil.
In context
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. 29Yahweh is far from the wicked, but he hears the prayer of the righteous. 30Light in the eyes gladdens the heart; good news puts fat on the bones.
