He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.

Verse 27 is found in chapter 15 of Proverbs. The final section connects counsel, prayer, humility, and the fear of the Lord. Plans fail when counsel is absent, but they are established through prudent deliberation. The Lord hears the prayer of the righteous and remains far from wicked thoughts. The conclusion presents humility as a path to honor and connects correction with acquiring wisdom.

Der Geizige verstört sein eigen Haus; wer aber Geschenke haßt, der wird leben.
Alborota su casa el codicioso: Mas el que aborrece las dádivas vivirá.
Celui qui est avide de gain trouble sa maison, Mais celui qui hait les présents vivra.
Chi è dato a cupidigia dissipa la sua casa; Ma chi odia i presenti viverà
O que agir com avareza perturba a sua casa, mas o que odeia presentes viverá.
暴力歛財的,擾害己家; 恨惡賄賂的,必得存活。
