24What the wicked fears will come upon him,
         But the desire of the righteous will be granted.

25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more,
         But the righteous has an everlasting foundation.

26Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,
         So is the lazy one to those who send him.

27The fear of the LORD prolongs life,
         But the years of the wicked will be shortened.

28The hope of the righteous is gladness,
         But the expectation of the wicked perishes.

29The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright,
         But ruin to the workers of iniquity.

30The righteous will never be shaken,
         But the wicked will not dwell in the land.

31The mouth of the righteous flows with wisdom,
         But the perverted tongue will be cut out.

32The lips of the righteous bring forth what is acceptable,
         But the mouth of the wicked what is perverted.
