Proverbs 21:24-31 American Standard Version (ASV)

24. The proud and haughty man, scoffer is his name; He worketh in the arrogance of pride.

25. The desire of the sluggard killeth him; For his hands refuse to labor.

26. There is that coveteth greedily all the day long; But the righteous giveth and withholdeth not.

27. The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind!

28. A false witness shall perish; But the man that heareth shall speak so as to endure.

29. A wicked man hardeneth his face; But as for the upright, he establisheth his ways.

30. There is no wisdom nor understanding Nor counsel against Jehovah.

31. The horse is prepared against the day of battle; But victory is of Jehovah.
