Proverbs 10:25-27

EasyEnglish Bible

²⁵ When the storm has finished, wicked people are no longer there.
    But righteous people are still standing safely.
²⁶ Do not send a lazy person with a message.
    He will bring you pain, like the taste of bitter wine,
    or like smoke in your eyes.
²⁷ If you respect and obey the Lord, you will live longer.
    But wicked people will die before they are old.
