Proverbs 22:8-12

He who sows iniquity will reap calamity and futility, and the rod of his wrath [with which he smites others] will fail. He who has a bountiful eye shall be blessed, for he gives of his bread to the poor. [II Cor. 9:6-10.] Drive out the scoffer, and contention will go out; yes, strife and abuse will cease. He who loves purity and the pure in heart and who is gracious in speech–because of the grace of his lips will he have the king for his friend. The eyes of the Lord keep guard over knowledge and him who has it, but He overthrows the words of the treacherous.
