Proverbs 10:22-32
New King James Version
22 (A)The blessing of the Lord makes one rich,
And He adds no sorrow with it.
23 (B)To do evil is like sport to a fool,
But a man of understanding has wisdom.
24 (C)The fear of the wicked will come upon him,
And (D)the desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes by, (E)the wicked is no more,
But (F)the righteous has an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the lazy man to those who send him.
27 (G)The fear of the Lord prolongs days,
But (H)the years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness,
But the (I)expectation of the wicked will perish.
29 The way of the Lord is strength for the upright,
But (J)destruction will come to the workers of iniquity.
30 (K)The righteous will never be removed,
But the wicked will not inhabit the [a]earth.
31 (L)The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom,
But the perverse tongue will be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable,
But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.

Proverbs 10:22-32
New American Standard Bible
22 It is the (A)blessing of the Lord that makes rich,
And He adds no sorrow to it.
23 Doing wickedness is like (B)sport to a fool,
And so is wisdom to a person of understanding.
24 What (C)the wicked fears will come upon him,
But the (D)desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the (E)whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more,
But the (F)righteous has an everlasting foundation.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
So is the [a](G)lazy one to those who send him.
27 The (H)fear of the Lord prolongs [b]life,
But the (I)years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The (J)hope of the righteous is gladness,
But the (K)expectation of the wicked perishes.
29 The (L)way of the Lord is a stronghold for the upright,
But (M)ruin to the workers of injustice.
30 The (N)righteous will never be shaken,
But (O)the wicked will not live in the land.
31 The (P)mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom,
But the (Q)perverted tongue will be cut out.
32 The lips of the righteous know (R)what is acceptable,
But the (S)mouth of the wicked, what is perverted.
