Proverbs 10:23-32

²³It is sport to the foolish man to do evil, but the man of good sense takes delight in wisdom.

²⁴The thing feared by the evil-doer will come to him, but the upright man will get his desire.

²⁵When the storm-wind is past, the sinner is seen no longer, but the upright man is safe for ever.

²⁶Like acid drink to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the hater of work to those who send him.

²⁷The fear of the Lord gives long life, but the years of the evil-doer will be cut short.

²⁸The hope of the upright man will give joy, but the waiting of the evil-doer will have its end in sorrow.

²⁹The way of the Lord is a strong tower for the upright man, but destruction to the workers of evil.

³⁰The upright man will never be moved, but evil-doers will not have a safe resting-place in the land.

³¹The mouth of the upright man is budding with wisdom, but the twisted tongue will be cut off.

³²The lips of the upright man have knowledge of what is pleasing, but twisted are the mouths of evil-doers.
