Context of Proverbs 10:24
22If the Lord blesses you, you are really rich. Hard work will not make you any richer. 23A foolish person is happy when he does wicked things. But a wise person enjoys doing things that are right. The trouble that wicked people are afraid of will certainly happen to them. But righteous people will receive the things that they want. 25When the storm has finished, wicked people are no longer there. But righteous people are still standing safely. 26Do not send a lazy person with a message. He will bring you pain, like the taste of bitter wine, or like smoke in your eyes.
