Proverbs 21:25-27

The Message

²⁵ Lazy people finally die of hunger
    because they won’t get up and go to work.

²⁶ Sinners are always wanting what they don’t have;
    the God-loyal are always giving what they do have.

²⁷ Religious performance by the wicked stinks;
    it’s even worse when they use it to get ahead.
