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.

John Wesley's Notes

<< Proverbs 21:26

Proverbs 21:28 >>

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.
