22 The Lord’s blessing brings wealth.And with it comes no sorrow.
23 A foolish person enjoys doing wrong.But a person with understanding enjoys doing what is wise.
24 An evil person will get what he fears most.But a good person will receive what he wants most.
25 A storm will blow the evil person away.But a good person will always be safe.
26 A lazy person brings trouble to the one he works for.He bothers others like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.
27 Whoever respects the Lord will have a long life.But an evil person will have his life cut short.
28 A good person can look forward to happiness.But an evil person can expect nothing.
