Proverbs 21:24-30
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

24'Proud,' 'Arrogant,' 'Scoffer,' are his names, One who acts with insolent pride. 25The desire of the lazy one puts him to death, For his hands refuse to work; 26All day long he is craving, While the righteous gives and does not hold back. 27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination, How much more when he brings it with evil intent! 28A false witness will perish, But a person who listens will speak forever. 29A wicked person displays a bold face, But as for the upright, he makes his way sure. 30There is no wisdom, no understanding, And no plan against the Lord.
King James Version

Chapter 21

24Proud and haughty scorner is his name, who dealeth in proud wrath.
25The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.
26He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: how much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
28A false witness shall perish: but the man that heareth speaketh constantly.
29A wicked man hardeneth his face: but as for the upright, he directeth his way.
30There is no wisdom nor understanding nor counsel against the Lord.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 21

24The arrogant and proud person, named "Mocker," acts with excessive arrogance. 25A slacker’s craving will kill him because his hands refuse to work.
26He is filled with craving all day long, but the righteous give and don’t hold back.
27The sacrifice of a wicked person is detestable— how much more so when he brings it with ulterior motives!
28A lying witness will perish, but the one who listens will speak successfully.
29A wicked person puts on a bold face, but the upright one considers his way.
30No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the Lord.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

24Mockers are proud and haughty; they act with boundless arrogance.
25Despite their desires, the lazy will come to ruin, for their hands refuse to work.
26Some people are always greedy for more, but the godly love to give!
27The sacrifice of an evil person is detestable, especially when it is offered with wrong motives.
28A false witness will be cut off, but a credible witness will be allowed to speak.
29The wicked bluff their way through, but the virtuous think before they act.
30No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord.
English Standard Version

Chapter 21

24 "Scoffer" is the name of the arrogant, haughty man who acts with arrogant pride. 25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor. 26All day long he craves and craves, but the righteous gives and does not hold back. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination; how much more when he brings it with evil intent. 28 A false witness will perish, but the word of a man who hears will endure. 29A wicked man puts on a bold face, but the upright gives thought to his ways. 30 No wisdom, no understanding, no counsel can avail against the Lord.
New International Version

27The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with evil intent!
28A false witness will perish, but a careful listener will testify successfully.

30There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the Lord.
