24What the wicked fear will happen to them, while what good people hope for will be granted.
25When the storm hits, the wicked are no more, but the good are safe and secure forever.
26In the same way vinegar irritates the teeth and smoke irritates the eyes, lazy people irritate their employers.
27Honoring the Lord makes your life longer, but the years the wicked live will be cut short.
28Good people look forward to happiness, but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
