26. As vinegar to the teeth, And as smoke to the eyes, So [is] the slothful to those sending him.
27. The fear of Jehovah addeth days, And the years of the wicked are shortened.
28. The hope of the righteous [is] joyful, And the expectation of the wicked perisheth.
29. The way of Jehovah [is] strength to the perfect, And ruin to workers of iniquity.
30. The righteous to the age is not moved, And the wicked inhabit not the earth.
