Proverbs 10:22-32

²²The good gifts of Yahweh bring wealth and he adds no pain to it.

²³Wickedness is a game a fool plays, but wisdom is a pleasure to a man of understanding.

²⁴The fear of the wicked person will overtake him, but the desire of righteous people will be granted.

²⁵The wicked are like the storm that passes by, and they are no more, but the righteous person is a foundation that lasts forever.

²⁶Like vinegar on the teeth and smoke in the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.

²⁷The fear of Yahweh prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.

²⁸The hope of righteous people is their joy, but the years of wicked people will be short.

²⁹The way of Yahweh protects those who have integrity, but it is destruction for the wicked.

³⁰The righteous person will never be overthrown, but the wicked will not remain in the land.

³¹Out of the mouth of the righteous person comes the fruit of wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut out.

³²The lips of the righteous person know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, they know what is perverse.
