25 A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work.

26 He is filled with craving all day long, but the righteous give and don’t hold back.

27 The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable— how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives!

28 A lying witness will perish, but the one who listens will speak successfully.

29 A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright man considers his way.

30 No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the LORD.

31 A horse is prepared for the day of battle, but victory comes from the LORD.
