26As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.
27The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
29The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
30The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
31The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
