26 As vinegar harmeth the teeth, and smoke harmeth the eyes; so a slow man harmeth them that sent him in the way. (Like vinegar harmeth the teeth, and smoke harmeth the eyes; so a lazy man harmeth those who sent him on the way.)
27 The dread of the Lord increaseth days; and the years of wicked men shall be made short. (The fear of the Lord or Reverence for the Lord increaseth days; and the years of the wicked shall be made short.)
