Proverbs 21:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 A haughty look, and a proud heart which is the [a][b]light of the wicked, is sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent do surely bring abundance; but [c]whosoever is hasty, cometh surely to poverty.
6 (A)The gathering of treasures by a deceitful tongue, is vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
