Proverbs 15:27
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; but he that hateth gifts shall live.
KJV
Conturbat domum suam qui sectatur avaritiam ; qui autem odit munera, vivet. Per misericordiam et fidem purgantur peccata : per timorem autem Domini declinat omnis a malo.
Vulgate
ἐξόλλυσιν ἑαυτὸν ὁ δωρολήμπτης, ὁ δὲ μισῶν δώρων λήμψεις σώζεται. ἐλεημοσύναις καὶ πίστεσιν ἀποκαθαίρονται ἁμαρτίαι, τῷ δὲ φόβῳ Κυρίου ἐκκλίνει πᾶς ἀπὸ κακοῦ.
LXX
He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live.
