Proverbs 10:27 Context
25As the whirlewinde passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an euerlasting foundation. 26As vineger to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him. 27The feare of the Lord prolongeth dayes: but the yeeres of the wicked shalbe shortened. 28The hope of the righteous shall bee gladnesse: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish. 29The way of the Lord is strength to the vpright: but destruction shall bee to the workers of iniquitie.
