The fear of the wicked, it shall come upon him: but the desire of the righteous shall be granted.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 10 of Proverbs. The final section relates blessing, the fear of the Lord, work, righteousness, and destiny. Divine blessing is not presented as mere material accumulation, but as that which enriches without adding the sorrow associated with sinful gain. The contrast between righteous and wicked appears again: one finds stability in God’s way, while the other is ultimately exposed by his own perversity.

Was der Gottlose fürchtet, das wird ihm begegnen; und was die Gerechten begehren, wird ihnen gegeben.
Lo que el impío teme, eso le vendrá: Mas a los justos les será dado lo que desean.
Ce que redoute le méchant, c'est ce qui lui arrive; Et ce que désirent les justes leur est accordé.
Egli avverrà all’empio ciò ch’egli teme; Ma Iddio darà a’ giusti ciò che desiderano.
Aquilo que o perverso teme sobrevirá a ele, mas o desejo dos justos será concedido.
惡人所怕的,必臨到他; 義人的心願,必蒙應允。
