Proverbs 10:22-24
New Catholic Bible
22 The blessing of the Lord is what brings wealth,
and our toil adds nothing to it.[a]
23 Doing wrong affords pleasure to the fool,
but wisdom is a delight to an intelligent man.
24 What the wicked man fears[b] catches up with him,
but what the righteous man desires is granted.
