Proverbs 21:26-28
Revised Standard Version

26 All day long the wicked covets,[a]
    but the righteous gives and does not hold back.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
    how much more when he brings it with evil intent.
28 A false witness will perish,
    but the word of a man who hears will endure.
