As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to those who send him.
The fear of the LORD prolongs days, but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
The prospect of the righteous is joy, but the hope of the wicked will perish.
The way of the LORD is a stronghold to the upright, but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
The righteous will never be removed, but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
The mouth of the righteous produces wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.
