Proverbs 10:26-28

Evangelical Heritage Version

²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth and like smoke to the eyes,
so is a lazy person to those who send him.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord will add days to a person’s life,
but the years of wicked people will be cut short.
²⁸ The confident hope of the righteous is joy,
but the ambitions of the wicked will perish.
