Proverbs 10:22-32

Tree of Life Version

²² The blessing of Adonai brings wealth
and He adds no trouble with it.
²³ As doing wickedness is delight to a fool,
so is wisdom to a man of discernment.
²⁴ What the wicked dread will fall on them.
The desire of the righteous will be given.
²⁵ When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more,
but the foundation of the righteous is everlasting.
²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth or smoke to the eyes,
so is a slacker to those who send him.
²⁷ The fear of Adonai prolongs life,
but the years of the wicked are cut short.
²⁸ The prospect of the righteous is joy,
but the hope of the wicked perishes.
²⁹ The way of Adonai is a stronghold to the upright,
but it is a ruin to those who do evil.
³⁰ The righteous will never be uprooted,
but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
³¹ The mouth of the righteous bears the fruit of wisdom,
but a perverse tongue will be cut out.
³² The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing,
but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.
