The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

As the whirlwind passeth, so {is} the wicked no {more}: but the righteous {is} an everlasting foundation.

As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so {is} the sluggard to them that send him.

The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. {prolongeth: Heb. addeth}
