Proverbs 10:26-32

A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble; it’s vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes. The Fear-of-GOD expands your life; a wicked life is a puny life. The aspirations of good people end in celebration; the ambitions of bad people crash. GOD is solid backing to a well-lived life, but he calls into question a shabby performance. Good people last—they can’t be moved; the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow. A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom; a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp. The speech of a good person clears the air; the words of the wicked pollute it.
