Context of Proverbs 10:25
23A foolish person is happy when he does wicked things. But a wise person enjoys doing things that are right. 24The trouble that wicked people are afraid of will certainly happen to them. But righteous people will receive the things that they want. When 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. 27If you respect and obey the Lord, you will live longer. But wicked people will die before they are old.
