22. The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich; And he addeth no sorrow therewith.
23. It is as sport to a fool to do wickedness; And so is wisdom to a man of understanding.
24. The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25. When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
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 Jehovah 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 Jehovah is a stronghold to the upright; But it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
