Proverbs 15:27

He that is greedy of gain That seeketh wealth by unjust practices, which the opposite clause shows to be the sense intended; troubleth his own house Bringeth God's displeasure and destruction upon himself and his family, whom he designed to enrich, honour, and establish; but he that hateth gifts Bribes given to pervert judgment; he who refuses them, not with dissimulation, nor only from prudential considerations, but from a hearty abhorrence of all unrighteousness; shall live Shall preserve himself and (which may be understood out of the former clause) his family from ruin.
