Context of Proverbs 10:28
26Like vinegar to the teeth and smoke to the eyes, So is the lazy one to those who send him. 27The fear of the Lord prolongs life, But the years of the wicked will be shortened. The hope of the righteous is gladness, But the expectation of the wicked perishes. 29The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the upright, But ruin to the workers of iniquity. 30The righteous will never be shaken, But the wicked will not dwell in the land.
