Proverbs 10:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.

²⁷ The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.

²⁸ The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
