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

The sacrifice - All the most costly services which they offer to God. Because - As all the ancient translators render it, the Hebrew particle, aph, being expletive: or, even because; so the following clause gives the reason. A wicked mind - Not in obedience to God's command, but either to cover, or countenance, or promote some wicked design.
