Proverbs 21:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶ There is one who covets greedily all day long, but the righteous gives and keeps on giving. ²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination,
How much more when he brings it with evil intent!
²⁸ The false witness shall perish, but the man that hears shall stand fast in his word.

To the Lord

O God
