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.
