Proverbs 10:24-26

Good News Translation

²⁴The righteous get what they want, but the wicked will get what they fear most.

²⁵Storms come, and the wicked are blown away, but honest people are always safe.

²⁶Never get a lazy person to do something for you; he will be as irritating as vinegar on your teeth or smoke in your eyes.

what the righteous desire will be granted.^(C)
