Proverbs 10:26-28

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

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.

²⁸ The hope of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing.
