Proverbs 21:26-28

New Life Version

²⁶He is filled with desire all day long, but the man who is right with God gives all he can.

²⁷The gift given on an altar in worship by the sinful is a hated thing. How much more when he brings it for the wrong reason!

²⁸A person who tells a lie about someone else will be lost, but the man who listens to the truth will speak forever.
