Proverbs 10:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.

²⁷ The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
