Proverbs 21:24
Proud and haughty scorner is his name, Who dealeth in proud wrath.
In context
21 He that followeth after righteousness and mercy Findeth life, righteousness, and honour. 22 A wise man scaleth the city of the mighty, And casteth down the strength of the confidence thereof. 23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles. 24 Proud and haughty scorner is his name, Who dealeth in proud wrath.
25 The desire of the slothful killeth him; For his hands refuse to labour. 26 He coveteth greedily all the day long: But the righteous giveth and spareth not. 27 The sacrifice of the wicked is abomination: How much more, when he bringeth it with a wicked mind?
