25. When the storm is over, sinners are gone. But those who do right stand firm forever.
26. Anyone who doesn't want to work hurts those who send him. He is like vinegar on the teeth or smoke in the eyes.
27. Having respect for the Lord leads to a longer life. But the years of evil people are cut short.
28. Those who do right can expect joy. But the hopes of sinners are bound to fail.
29. The way of the Lord leads to a safe place for those who do right. But it destroys those who do evil.
30. Those who do right will never be removed from the land. But those who do wrong will not remain in it.
31. The mouths of those who do right produce wisdom. But tongues that speak twisted words will be cut out.
