Proverbs 10:24-26

The Message

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.
