Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People
24 What the wicked fears will come about, but the longing of the righteous will be granted.
25 When the storm ends, the wicked vanish, but the righteous person is forever firm.
26 As vinegar is to the mouth and smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy person to those who send him.
27 Fearing the LORD prolongs life, but the wicked will not live long.
28 What the righteous hope for brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked dies.
29 To the upright, the way of the LORD is a place of safety, but it's a place of ruin to those who practice evil.
30 The righteous will never be overthrown, but the wicked will never inhabit the land.
31 The words of the righteous overflow with wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.
32 Righteous lips know what is prudent, but the words of the wicked are perverse.
