Proverbs 10:29-31

The Message

²⁹ God is solid backing to a well-lived life,
    but he calls into question a shabby performance.

³⁰ Good people last—they can’t be moved;
    the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.

³¹ A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;
    a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.
