Proverbs 10:24-26

New Century Version

²⁴Evil people will get what they fear most,
but good people will get what they want most.

²⁵A storm will blow the evil person away,
but a good person will always be safe.

²⁶A lazy person affects the one he works for
like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

Proverbs 10:24-26

²⁴What the wicked dread^(A) will overtake them;^(B)
what the righteous desire will be granted.^(C)

²⁵When the storm has swept by, the wicked are gone,
but the righteous stand firm^(D) forever.^(E)

²⁶As vinegar to the teeth and smoke^(F) to the eyes,
so are sluggards to those who send them.^(G)
