"He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house; But he that hateth bribes shall live." — Proverbs 15:27 (ASV)

He that is greedy of gain.— Ill-gotten gain, especially bribes, as is seen in the next line.

Troubleth his own house.— The word used of Achan (Joshua 7:25).

Gifts.— Bribes taken by a judge. (Ecclesiastes 7:7)
