25 The desire of the slothful slays him, || For his hands have refused to work.

26 All the day desiring he has desired, || And the righteous gives and does not withhold.

27 The sacrifice of the wicked [is] abomination, || Much more when he brings it in wickedness.

28 A false witness perishes, || And an attentive man speaks forever.

29 A wicked man has hardened by his face, || And the upright—he prepares his way.

30 There is no wisdom, nor understanding, || Nor counsel against YHWH.

31 A horse is prepared for a day of battle, || And the deliverance [is] of YHWH!
