Proverbs 10:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ After a whirlwind passes by, the wicked are no more,
    but the righteous stand firm forever.
²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
    so are lazy people to those who authorize them.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord increases one’s life,
    but the years of the wicked will be cut short.
