Proverbs 21:25-27
New Catholic Bible

25 The cravings of the idler[a] will prove fatal,
    since his hands will do no work.
26 All day long the godless man continues to covet,
    whereas the righteous man gives unsparingly.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abhorrent,
    and more so when it is offered for evil motives.[b]
