Proverbs 10:27-29
Contemporary English Version
27 If you respect the Lord,
you will live longer;
if you keep doing wrong,
your life will be cut short.
28 If you obey the Lord,
you will be happy,
but there is no future
for the wicked.
29 The Lord protects everyone
who lives right,
but he destroys anyone
who does wrong.
Proverbs 10:27-29
New International Version
28 The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.(C)
29 The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,
but it is the ruin of those who do evil.(D)
