Context of Proverbs 10:24

22The blessing of Adonai brings wealth and He adds no trouble with it. 23As doing wickedness is delight to a fool, so is wisdom to a man of discernment. What the wicked dread will fall on them. The desire of the righteous will be given. 25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked are no more, but the foundation of the righteous is everlasting. 26Like vinegar to the teeth or smoke to the eyes, so is a slacker to those who send him.
