New King James Version

Proverbs 21:25-31 New King James Version (NKJV)

25. The desire of the lazy man kills him,For his hands refuse to labor.

26. He covets greedily all day long,But the righteous gives and does not spare.

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

28. A false witness shall perish,But the man who hears him will speak endlessly.

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

30. There is no wisdom or understandingOr counsel against the Lord.

31. The horse is prepared for the day of battle,But deliverance is of the Lord.
