Proverbs 10:26
King James VersionSource notes
“As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so the sluggard to them that send him.”
Context
23as sport to a fool to do mischief: but a man of understanding hath wisdom.
24The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.
25As the whirlwind passeth, so the wicked no but the righteous an everlasting foundation.
26As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so the sluggard to them that send him.
27The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28The hope of the righteous gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29The way of the LORD strength to the upright: but destruction to the workers of iniquity.
