Proverbs 10:24-26

Contemporary English Version

²⁴ What evil people dread most
    will happen to them,
but good people will get
    what they want most.
²⁵ Those crooks will disappear
    when a storm strikes,
but God will keep safe
    all who obey him.
²⁶ Having a lazy person on the job
is like a mouth full of vinegar
    or smoke in your eyes.
