Proverbs 21:25-31 ▼

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

26 All day long he is 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 evil intent!

28 A false witness will perish, But a person who listens will speak forever.

29 A wicked person displays a bold face, But as for the upright, he makes his way sure.

30 There is no wisdom, no understanding, And no plan against the LORD.

31 The horse is prepared for the day of battle, But the victory belongs to the LORD.
