25. When the tempest passes, the wicked is no more,but the righteous is established forever.
26. Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes,so is the sluggard to those who send him.
27. The fear of the Lord prolongs life, but the years of the wicked will be short.
28. The hope of the righteous brings joy, but the expectation of the wicked will perish.
29. The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless,but destruction to evildoers.
30. The righteous will never be removed,but the wicked will not dwell in the land.
