SCRIPTURE

"The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him; And the desire of the righteous shall be granted. When the whirlwind passeth, the wicked is no more; But the righteous is an everlasting foundation. As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, So is the sluggard to them that send him. The fear of Jehovah prolongeth days; But the years of the wicked shall be shortened. The hope of the righteous [shall be] gladness; But the expectation of the wicked shall perish." — Proverbs 10:24-28 (ASV)

Four things that are little, are nevertheless to be admired. There are those who are poor in the world, and of little importance, yet wise for their souls and another world.
