Proverbs 21:27-29
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination,
the more so when they offer it with bad intent.(A)
28 The false witness will perish,(B)
but one who listens will give lasting testimony.
29 The face of the wicked hardens,
but the upright maintains a straight course.[a]
