Proverbs 10:26-28

GOD’S WORD Translation

²⁶ Like vinegar to the teeth,
like smoke to the eyes,
so is the lazy person to those who send him ⌞on a mission⌟.
²⁷ The fear of the Lord lengthens ⌞the number of⌟ days,
but the years of wicked people are shortened.
²⁸ The hope of righteous people ⌞leads to⌟ joy,
but the eager waiting of wicked people comes to nothing.
