Proverbs 21:26

²⁴ Mocker is the name of the proud and arrogant man— of him who acts with excessive pride.

²⁵ The craving of the slacker kills him because his hands refuse to work.

All day long he covets more, but the righteous give without restraint.

²⁷ The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable— how much more so when brought with ill intent!

²⁸ A lying witness will perish, but the man who listens to truth will speak forever.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
