Proverbs 21:25 Context

◄ Proverbs 21:25 ►

The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work.

Context

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

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

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

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

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

30There is no wisdom and no understanding
And no counsel against the LORD.

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