A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 21 of Proverbs. The proud and arrogant person receives a practical definition: the scoffer acts from a persistent attitude of pride. The lazy person desires but does not work, while the righteous gives generously. The sacrifice of the wicked is rejected when offered with evil intent. The chapter concludes by reminding us that a horse may be prepared for battle, but victory ultimately belongs to the Lord.

Ein lügenhafter Zeuge wird umkommen; aber wer sich sagen läßt, den läßt man auch allezeit wiederum reden.
El testigo mentiroso perecerá: Mas el hombre que oye, permanecerá en su dicho.
Le témoin menteur périra, Mais l'homme qui écoute parlera toujours.
Il testimonio mendace perirà; Ma l’uomo che ascolta parlerà in perpetuo
A falsa testemunha perecerá, porém o homem que dá ouvidos falará sempre.
不實的見證必消滅; 惟聆聽真情的,他的證詞有力。
