Proverbs
Chapters 10:24-30
New International Version Anglicized
24What the wicked dread will overtake them;what the righteous desire will be granted.
25When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,but the righteous stand firm for ever.
26As vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,so are sluggards to those who send them.
27The fear of the Lord adds length to life,but the years of the wicked are cut short.
28The prospect of the righteous is joy,but the hopes of the wicked come to nothing.
29The way of the Lord is a refuge for the blameless,but it is the ruin of those who do evil.
30The righteous will never be uprooted,but the wicked will not remain in the land.
