Proverbs 21:27

Compare all

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

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

27 ^aThe 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, he¹ establishes his way.

Proverbs 21:27

A lower depth even than Proverbs 15:8. The wicked man may connect his devotion with his guilt, offer his sacrifice and vow his vow (as men have done under paganism or corrupted Christianity) for success in the perpetration of a crime.
