Proverbs 10:29
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
In context
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.
29 The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: But destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity. 30 The righteous shall never be removed: But the wicked shall not inhabit the earth. 31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: But the froward tongue shall be cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: But the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
