I hope they're intensively dreading being fully exposed, going bankrupt, losing all their 'good for nothing slaves', our indoctrinated brothers and sisters and facing jail time at the watchdog babble and trash society at Bethell Warwicked and around the world, for all the hurt they have caused on millions of people and children and of all their crimes and ruthless unrighteousness and godless inhumanity.
In the meantime let us do the oppsite and be cristian and be kind to all kind.
10:23 Shameful conduct contrasts with wisdom. A person of understanding finds pleasure in wisdom just as a fool finds pleasure in shameful conduct.
10:24 This observation on the wicked is often valid in this life and always true in eternity.
10:25 This is similar to Jesus’s parable of the Two Foundations (Mt 7:24–27).

10:23. Most of verses 23–32 contrast the righteous and the wicked. A fool (kesîl, a thickheaded person; see comments on 1:7) enjoys sinning, whereas the wise prefer wisdom. This contrast between evil conduct and wisdom shows that wisdom in the biblical sense is moral in nature.

23–25 These sayings can be conveniently grouped together as describing various aspects of the just and the wicked. 23 Although the contrast is between the wise and the foolish, immoral action is specified; “sinful activity” (זמה) designates serious wrongdoing. The point is the moral bankruptcy of the fool, who takes his wrongdoing as lightly as a joke. This hardened cynicism is contrasted with the attitude of the intelligent person, for whom wisdom is the joy and delight; one may recall here the “playing” of Woman Wisdom to be with humankind, 8:30–31. What is true joy for the wise? According to Prov 21:15, it is doing what is right (משׁפט). 24 The question arises: just what do the wicked fear? The text does not make this explicit. One may imagine that they fear the possible loss by some evil turn of their goods and happiness. Or perhaps people they have injured will try to exact revenge. Or perhaps the doctrine of retribution might get to them after all—can they escape punishment? The “fear” is to be understood in an objective sense; these are not qualms of conscience on the part of the wicked. In any case, in the view of the collector of these sayings some unnamed fear will overtake the wicked; they cannot escape. In contrast the just will experience the assurance already expressed in Ps 37:4, “Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” The last word in the verse can be interpreted passively, or also actively: (the Lord) will give. 25 The vivid portrayal of the effects of a violent storm is used to distinguish between the fate of the wicked and the just. The wicked simply disappear in the hurricane, but the just, thanks to a strong foundation, go on indefinitely; cf. Matt 7:24–27. 26 The pungency of the comparisons is striking; cf. also vv 4–5. The acidic effect of vinegar would seem to be the point of v 16a. The term “sluggard” (עצל) occurs almost only in this book, and it is featured in 26:13–16. The attention given to messengers is an indication of their importance; only a reliable person could serve to travel long distances and in a sense be responsible for the one who sent him; cf. 13:17; 25:13; 26:6.
