Proverbs 21:27-29

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁷ The Lord hates it
    when wicked people offer sacrifices to him.
He hates it even more
    when they do it with an evil purpose.
²⁸ Anyone who tells lies in court will come to nothing.
    But if someone listens to the truth, his report will remain for ever.
²⁹ Wicked people do not show what they are really thinking.
    But righteous people think carefully about what they are doing.
