Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People

24 The fear of the unjust one it shall come to him: and the desire of the just shall be given.

25 As the whirlwind passing away the unjust one is not: and the just one a foundation forever.

26 As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the slothful one to those sending him.

27 The fear of Jehovah will add days, and the years of the unjust shall be diminished.

28 The hope of the just is gladness: and the expectation of the unjust shall perish.

29 The way of Jehovah is a fortress to the upright one: and destruction to those doing iniquity.

30 The just one shall not be moved forever: and the unjust shall not inhabit the earth.

31 The mouth of the just one shall germinate wisdom: and the tongue of perverseness shall be cut off.

32 The lips of the just one shall know acceptance: and the mouth of the unjust, perverseness.
