The Message

Proverbs 10:26-32 The Message (MSG)

26. A lazy employee will give you nothing but trouble;it’s vinegar in the mouth, smoke in the eyes.

27. The Fear-of-God expands your life;a wicked life is a puny life.

28. The aspirations of good people end in celebration;the ambitions of bad people crash.

29. God is solid backing to a well-lived life,but he calls into question a shabby performance.

30. Good people last—they can’t be moved;the wicked are here today, gone tomorrow.

31. A good person’s mouth is a clear fountain of wisdom;a foul mouth is a stagnant swamp.

32. The speech of a good person clears the air;the words of the wicked pollute it.
