27 The sacrifice of the wicked is detestable—how much more so when brought with ill intent!
Focused Passage
Proverbs 21:27
The LORD Weighs the Heart: Justice, Righteousness, Pride, Diligence, and the Limits of Human Strength
The chapter moves from the LORD's sovereignty over kings and hearts, to justice over sacrifice, to diligence and dishonest gain, to household conflict and wicked desire, to mercy and justice, to speech, generosity, false witness, and finally to the LORD's supremacy over every human plan and battle.
