Proverbs 10:25-27

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁵ When the storm has passed, the wicked person has vanished,
but the righteous person has an everlasting foundation.
²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth,
like smoke to the eyes,
so is the lazy person to those who send him ⌞on a mission⌟.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord lengthens ⌞the number of⌟ days,
but the years of wicked people are shortened.
