PROVERBS 10:23-29

²³It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness: and so is wisdom to a man of understanding.

²⁴The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: and the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

²⁵When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.

²⁷The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

²⁸The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.

²⁹The way of the LORD is a strong hold to the upright; but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
