Proverbs 10:25-27

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁵ When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous have an everlasting foundation.^(A)

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who employ and send him.

²⁷ The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord prolongs one’s days, but the years of the wicked shall be made short.
