Proverbs 15:26 contrasts plans that are “abominable” to Yahweh with words that are “pure.” Both terms are borrowed from the Levitical system, and suggest that speech and plans are always a form of sacrifice. There is a vertical dimension to all our talk, and God either spits our words from His mouth or receives them as a sweet-smelling savor. All speech is sacrifice, acceptable or not; all speech is praise.
