24. That which the wicked feareth, shall come upon him: to the just their desire shall be given.
25. As a tempest that passeth, so the wicked shall be no more: but the just is as an everlasting foundation.
26. As vinegar to the teeth, and smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that sent him.
27. The fear of the Lord shall prolong days: and the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28. The expectation of the just is joy; but the hope of the wicked shall perish.
29. The strength of the upright is the way of the Lord: and fear to them that work evil.
30. The just shall never be moved: but the wicked shall not dwell on the earth.
31. The mouth of the just shall bring forth wisdom: the tongue of the perverse shall perish.
32. The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
