Proverbs 10:27-29

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁷ The reverent and worshipful fear of the Lord prolongs one’s days, but the years of the wicked shall be made short.

²⁸ The hope of the [uncompromisingly] righteous (the upright, in right standing with God) is gladness, but the expectation of the wicked (those who are out of harmony with God) comes to nothing.

²⁹ The way of the Lord is strength and a stronghold to the upright, but it is destruction to the workers of iniquity.
