25	תַּאֲוַ֣ת עָצֵ֣ל תְּמִיתֶ֑נּוּ כִּֽי־ מֵאֲנ֖וּ יָדָ֣יו לַעֲשֽׂוֹת׃	The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.	The craving of a sluggard will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work.
26	כָּל־ הַ֭יּוֹם הִתְאַוָּ֣ה תַאֲוָ֑ה וְצַדִּ֥יק יִ֝תֵּ֗ן וְלֹ֣א יַחְשֹֽׂךְ׃	All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back.	All day long he craves for more, but the righteous give without sparing.
27	זֶ֣בַח רְ֭שָׁעִים תּוֹעֵבָ֑ה אַ֝֗ף כִּֽי־ בְזִמָּ֥ה יְבִיאֶֽנּוּ׃	The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent.	The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with evil intent!
28	עֵד־ כְּזָבִ֥ים יֹאבֵ֑ד וְאִ֥ישׁ שׁ֝וֹמֵ֗עַ לָנֶ֥צַח יְדַבֵּֽר׃	A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure.	A false witness will perish, but a careful listener will testify successfully.
29	הֵעֵ֬ז אִ֣ישׁ רָשָׁ֣ע בְּפָנָ֑יו וְ֝יָשָׁ֗ר ה֤וּא ׀ [יכין] (יָבִ֬ין) [דרכיו] (דַּרְכּֽוֹ׃)	A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways.	The wicked put up a bold front, but the upright give thought to their ways.
30	אֵ֣ין חָ֭כְמָה וְאֵ֣ין תְּבוּנָ֑ה וְאֵ֥ין עֵ֝צָ֗ה לְנֶ֣גֶד יְהוָֽה׃ פ	No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the LORD.	There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.
31	ס֗וּס מ֭וּכָן לְי֣וֹם מִלְחָמָ֑ה וְ֝לַֽיהוָ֗ה הַתְּשׁוּעָֽה׃	The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but the victory belongs to the LORD.	The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD.
