Proverbs 10:25

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.

As the whirlwind passeth, so (is) the wicked no (more) - as rapidly as the whirlwind passes. No wind is more violent or less lasting. So the wicked, the more violent and mischievous they are, the more quickly they fall (cf. ).

But the righteous (is) an everlasting foundation. He becomes like the foundation on which he rests, the everlasting God (Matthew 7:24; , end). He is solid, immovable, always consistent, and his happiness well-founded and eternal (Maimonides). The righteous is the foundation of the world; the world stands for the sake of the righteous.
