Proverbs 10:25
As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: But the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
In context
22 The blessing of the LORD, it maketh rich, And he addeth no sorrow with it. 23 It is as sport to a fool to do mischief: But a man of understanding hath wisdom. 24 The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: But the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. 26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him. 27 The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28 The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: But the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
