23 An empty-head thinks mischief is fun,but a mindful person relishes wisdom.
24 The nightmares of the wicked come true;what the good people desire, they get.
25 When the storm is over, there’s nothing left of the wicked;good people, firm on their rock foundation, aren’t even fazed.
26 A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble;it’s vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes.
27 The Fear-of-God expands your life;a wicked life is a puny life.
28 The aspirations of good people end in celebration;the ambitions of bad people crash.
29 God is solid backing to a well-lived life,but he calls into question a shabby performance.
