26As a sour grape is hurtful to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so iniquity hurts those that practise it.
27The fear of the Lord adds length of days: but the years of the ungodly shall be shortened.
28Joy rests long with the righteous: but the hope of the ungodly shall perish.
29The fear of the Lord is a strong hold of the saints: but ruin comes to them that work wickedness.
30The righteous shall never fail: but the ungodly shall not dwell in the earth.
31The mouth of the righteous drops wisdom: but the tongue of the unjust shall perish.
