Proverbs 10:24-26

New International Reader's Version

²⁴What sinners are afraid of will catch up with them.
But those who do right will get what they want.

²⁵When the storm is over, sinners are gone.
But those who do right stand firm forever.

²⁶Those who don’t want to work hurt those who send them.
They are like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.
