Proverbs 21:26-28
New American Standard Bible

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