21. The lips of a righteous man feed many; but fools die for want of understanding.
22. The blessing of Jehovah, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow to it.
23. It is as sport to a foolish man to do wickedness; but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24. The fear of a wicked man, it shall come upon him; but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25. As a whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more; but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27. The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
