Proverbs 10:26-32

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened .
28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish .
29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30 The righteous shall never be removed : but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out .
32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
