Proverbs 21:25 Context
23Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soule from troubles. 24Proud and haughtie scorner, is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath. 25The desire of the slouthfull killeth him: for his hands refuse to labour. 26Hee coueteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giueth and spareth not. 27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked minde?
