21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of wisdom.
22 The blessing of the Lord is that which makes rich, and he adds no sorrow with it.
23 To make an abomination is as sport to the fool, but wisdom is recreation to the man of intelligence.
24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him, but God shall grant the desire of the righteous.
25 When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more, but the righteous is founded for ever.
26 As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those that send him.
27 The fear of the Lord shall prolong days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
