Proverbs 10:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Those who don’t want to work hurt those who send them.
    They are like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.

²⁷ Having respect for the Lord leads to a longer life.
    But the years of evil people are cut short.

²⁸ Those who do right can expect joy.
    But the hopes of sinners are bound to fail.
