Proverbs 10:25-27

New Century Version

²⁵A storm will blow the evil person away,
but a good person will always be safe.

²⁶A lazy person affects the one he works for
like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

²⁷Whoever respects the Lord will have a long life,
but the life of an evil person will be cut short.

Proverbs 10:25-27

New International Version

²⁵When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm^(A) forever.^(B)

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth and smoke^(C) to the eyes,
so are sluggards to those who send them.^(D)

²⁷The fear of the Lord adds length to life,^(E)
but the years of the wicked are cut short.^(F)
