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.
30 Good people last—they can’t be moved;the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.
31 A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
