21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die through lack of sense.
22The blessing of the Lord it is which maketh rich, and painful labor addeth nothing thereto.
23It is as sport to a fool to do wicked deeds; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24What the wicked dreadeth, that will come upon him: but the longing of the righteous will God grant.
25As the whirlwind passeth by, the wicked is no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26As vinegar is to the teeth, and as smoke is to the eyes: so is the sluggard to those that send him.
27The fear of the Lord increaseth man's days; but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
