Proverbs 10:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ The thing a wicked man fears shall come upon him, but the desire of the [uncompromisingly] righteous shall be granted.

²⁵ When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the [uncompromisingly] righteous have an everlasting foundation.^(A)

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who employ and send him.
