“The fear of Yahweh prolongs days,but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.”
Proverbs 10:27 (WEB)
Context Reading
25When the whirlwind passes, the wicked is no more;but the righteous stand firm forever. 26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes,so is the sluggard to those who send him. 27The fear of Yahweh prolongs days,but the years of the wicked shall be shortened. 28The prospect of the righteous is joy,but the hope of the wicked will perish. 29The way of Yahweh is a stronghold to the upright,but it is a destruction to the workers of iniquity.
