Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People
24 The thing that the ungodly are afraid of, shall come upon them; but the righteous shall have their desire.
25 The ungodly is like a tempest that passeth over, and is no more seen; but the righteous remaineth sure forever.
26 As vinegar is to the teeth, and as smoke is to the eyes; even so is a sluggish person to them that sendeth him forth.
27 The fear of the LORD maketh a long life; but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
28 The patient abiding of the righteous shall be turned to gladness; but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
29 The way of the LORD giveth a courage unto the godly; but it is a fear for wicked doers.
30 The righteous shall never be overthrown; but the ungodly shall not remain in the land.
31 The mouth of the just will be talking of wisdom; but the tongue of the froward shall perish.
32 The lips of the righteous are occupied in acceptable things; but the mouth of the ungodly taketh them to the worst.
