Proverbs 21:6

Proverbs Of Solomon

⁵ The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage,
But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
⁶ The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.
⁷ The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
Because they refuse to act with justice.
