Selah · Bible verse
Proverbs 21:25
The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
In context
23Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.
24The proud and haughty man, “scoffer” is his name; he works in the arrogance of pride.
25The desire of the sluggard kills him, for his hands refuse to labor.
26There are those who covet greedily all day long; but the righteous give and don’t withhold.
27The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination: how much more, when he brings it with a wicked mind!
