Proverbs 10:26-28
The Voice

26 As vinegar vexes the teeth, and as smoke irritates the eyes,
    so a slacker annoys his boss.
27 Reverence for the Eternal makes for a long and peaceful life,
    but a wrongdoer will have years taken away.
28 The hope of those who do right is joy and celebration,
    but the only prospect for those who do wrong is futility.
