Proverbs 10:24-32 - Righteous People Contrasted To Wicked People
24 The fear of the wicked will come upon him. The desire of the righteous will be granted.
25 The whirlwind passes and the wicked is no more. The righteous has an everlasting foundation.
26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the lazy man to those who sent him.
27 Respect for Jehovah prolongs life. The years of the wicked will be shortened.
28 The hope of the righteous is joy. The prospect for the wicked is bleak.
29 The way of Jehovah is a rock (stronghold) to the upright. The workers of iniquity will be destroyed.
30 The righteous will never be removed. The wicked will not inhabit the earth.
31 The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom but the perverted tongue will be destroyed.
32 The lips of the righteous speak what is acceptable. The mouth of the wicked speaks perversion.
