Context of Proverbs 10:27
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. If you respect and obey the Lord, you will live longer. But wicked people will die before they are old. 28What good people hope to receive causes them to be happy. But wicked people never receive what they hope for. 29The Lord keeps honest people safe. But he punishes people who do wrong things.
