Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People
24 The fear of a wicked man shall come upon him. And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked man is no more, but the righteous man is an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
27 The fear of LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous [is] gladness, but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29 The way of LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
30 A righteous man shall never be removed, but the wicked shall not dwell in the land.
31 The mouth of a righteous man brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut off.
32 The lips of a righteous man knows what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked [is] perverseness.
