Proverbs 10:26-28

Living Bible

²⁶ A lazy fellow is a pain to his employers—like smoke in their eyes or vinegar that sets the teeth on edge.

²⁷ Reverence for God adds hours to each day;^[a] so how can the wicked expect a long, good life?

²⁸ The hope of good men is eternal happiness; the hopes of evil men are all in vain.
