24 Proud, boastful—scoffer is the name:those who act with overbearing pride.
25 The desire of sluggards will slay them,for their hands refuse to work.
26 Some are consumed with avarice all the day,but the just give unsparingly.
27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination,the more so when they offer it with bad intent.
28 The false witness will perish,but one who listens will give lasting testimony.
29 The face of the wicked hardens,but the upright maintains a straight course.
30 No wisdom, no understanding,no counsel prevail against the Lord.
