Proverbs 21:25-31 ▼

25 The desire of the sluggard puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work;

26 All day long he is insatiably craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, How much more when he brings it with a wicked scheme!

28 A false witness will perish, But the man who listens will speak forever.

29 A wicked man displays a brazen face, But as for the upright, he establishes his way.

30 There is no wisdom, there is no discernment And there is no counsel against Yahweh.

31 The horse is set for the day of battle, But salvation belongs to Yahweh.
