Proverbs 10:25-27

Modern English Version

²⁵ As the whirlwind passes, so is the wicked no more,
    but the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes,
    so is the sluggard to those who send him.

²⁷ The fear of the Lord prolongs days,
    but the years of the wicked will be shortened.
