Proverbs 21:26-28

Living Bible

^25-26 The lazy man longs for many things, but his hands refuse to work. He is greedy to get, while the godly love to give!

²⁷ God loathes the gifts of evil men, especially if they are trying to bribe him!

²⁸ No one believes a liar, but everyone respects the words of an honest man.
