Proverbs 21:26 | Matthew Henry's Commentary
He coveteth greedily all the day long: but the righteous giveth and spareth not. — Proverbs 21:26
When holiness is pretended, but wickedness intended, that especially is an abomination.
Source Coverage: Proverbs 21:25-26
Here is the misery of the slothful; their hands refuse to labour in an honest calling, by which they might get an honest livelihood; yet their hearts cease not to covet riches, pleasures, and honours, which cannot be obtained without labour. But the righteous and industrious have their desires satisfied.
