Proverbs 21:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶All day long they hunger for more.
But godly people give without holding back.

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

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