25 The desire of the lazy kills him, For his hands refuse to labor; 26 He craves all the day long [and does no work], But the righteous [willingly] gives and does not withhold [what he has]. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable and offensive [to the LORD]. How much more [unacceptable and insulting can it be] when he brings it with evil intention? 28 A false witness will perish, But a man who listens to the truth will speak forever and go unchallenged. 29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, But as for the upright, he considers, directs, and establishes his way [with the confidence of integrity]. 30 There is no [human] wisdom or understanding Or counsel [that can prevail] against the LORD. 31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But deliverance and victory belong to the LORD.
