Proverbs 10:26-28
International Standard Version

26 As vinegar is to the mouth[a] and smoke to the eyes,
    so is the lazy person to those who send him.
27 Fearing the Lord prolongs life,
    but the wicked will not live long.
28 What the righteous hope for brings joy,
    but the expectation of the wicked dies.
