Proverbs 21:27
The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
In context
24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, Who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; For his hands refuse to labour. 26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: But the righteous giveth and spareth not. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind? 28 A false witness shall perish: But the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29 A wicked man hardeneth his face: But as for the upright, he directeth his way. 30 There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against the LORD.
