Proverbs 21:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ God hates sacrifices that are brought by evil people.
    He hates it even more when they bring them for the wrong reason.

²⁸ Witnesses who aren’t honest will die.
    But anyone who listens carefully will be a successful witness.

²⁹ Sinful people try to look as if they were bold.
    But honest people think about how they live.
