Proverbs 10:26-28

Lexham English Bible

²⁶ Like vinegar to the tooth and like smoke to the eyes,
    thus is the lazy to one who employs^[a] him.
²⁷ The fear of Yahweh adds life,
    but the years of the wicked are shortened.
²⁸ The hope of the righteous is gladness,
    but the expectation of the wicked comes to nothing.
