Proverbs 21:26-28

Authorized (King James) Version

²⁶He coveteth greedily all the day long:
but the righteous giveth and spareth not.

²⁷The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination:
how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?

²⁸A false witness shall perish:
but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
