equivalent. They're not opposite, saying both are fools. In verse 22: Verse 22: 104 Proverbs 6 The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, and he addeth no sorrow with it. It's saying the same thing in different way. If it were opposite, it would say. The blessing of the Lord maketh rich, but the cursing of the Lord adds sorrow. See that? That would be opposite.

Vinegar to the teeth is essentially the same thing as smoke getting in your eyes. That's what the sluggard is. But everything else in this chapter is opposite. Look at verse one. Proverbs 10:1: The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. See, it says the same thing in an opposite way. And he uses the word "but".
