Proverbs 10:21-29
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 10

21The lips of the righteous feed many, But fools die for lack of understanding. 22It is the blessing of the Lord that makes rich, And He adds no sorrow to it. 23Doing wickedness is like sport to a fool, And so is wisdom to a person of understanding. 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 for the upright, But ruin to the workers of injustice.
King James Version

Chapter 10

21The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
22The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it.
23It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27The fear of the Lord prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29The way of the Lord is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.

Chapter 10

21The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
22The Lord’s blessing enriches, and he adds no painful effort to it.
23As shameful conduct is pleasure for a fool, so wisdom is for a person of understanding.
24What the wicked dreads will come to him, but what the righteous desire will be given to them.
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the righteous are secure forever.
26Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, so the slacker is to the one who sends him on an errand.
27The fear of the Lord prolongs life, but the years of the wicked are cut short.
28The hope of the righteous is joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
29The way of the Lord is a stronghold for the honorable, but destruction awaits the malicious.
