²⁴ That which wicked people dread happens to them,
    but the Lord grants the desire of righteous people.
²⁵ When the storm has passed, the wicked person has vanished,
    but the righteous person has an everlasting foundation.
²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth,
    like smoke to the eyes,
    so is the lazy person to those who send him on a mission.
