Proverbs 21:27-29

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination;
    how much more when brought with evil intent.
²⁸ A false witness will perish,
    but a good listener will testify successfully.
²⁹ The wicked put on a bold face,
    but the upright give thought to^[a] their ways.
