Proverbs 21:5

"A high look and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, is sin."

Key Reflection

This verse teaches that a haughty attitude and pride are like a constant light that guides the wicked in their sinful ways. Such attitudes not only reveal inner darkness but also lead to evil deeds, making them inherently sinful.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Here diligence is opposed, not to sloth but to haste. Undue hurry is as fatal to success as undue procrastination.
