Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People
24 The dread of the lawless one, the same, shall overtake him, but, the desire of the righteous, shall he granted.
25 Like the passing away of a tempest, so the lawless one is not, but, the righteous, hath an age-abiding foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so, is the sluggard, to them who send him.
27 The reverence of Yahweh, addeth days, but, the years of the lawless, shall be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous, shall be gladness, but, the expectation of the lawless, shall vanish.
29 A refuge for the blameless, is the path of Yahweh, but, destruction, awaiteth the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous, to times age-abiding, shall remain unshaken, but, the lawless, shall not inhabit the earth.
31 The mouth of the righteous, beareth the fruit of wisdom, but, a perverse tongue, shall be cut off.
32 The lips of the righteous, know what is pleasing, but, the mouth of the lawless, speaketh perversities.
