Proverbs 10:25-27

Living Bible

²⁵ Disaster strikes like a cyclone and the wicked are whirled away. But the good man has a strong anchor.

²⁶ A lazy fellow is a pain to his employers—like smoke in their eyes or vinegar that sets the teeth on edge.

²⁷ Reverence for God adds hours to each day;^[a] so how can the wicked expect a long, good life?
