Proverbs 21:27

Proverbs Of Solomon

²⁶ All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back.
²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination,
How much more when he brings it with evil intent!
²⁸ A false witness will perish,
But the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.

To the Lord

O God

But the prayer of the upright is His delight.

Isaiah 66:3

He who sacrifices a lamb is like the one who breaks a dog’s neck;

He who burns incense is like the one who blesses an idol.
As they have chosen their own ways,
And their soul delights in their abominations,

And your sacrifices are not pleasing to Me.”
