Proverbs 10:24-26
New Catholic Bible

24 What the wicked man fears[a] catches up with him,
    but what the righteous man desires is granted.
25 When the storm ends, the wicked man is no more,
    but the righteous man stands firm forever.
26 Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
    so is the sluggard[b] to those he serves.
