Proverbs 21:4-6
Common English Bible

4 Prideful eyes, an arrogant heart, and
    the lamp of the wicked are all sinful.
5 The plans of the diligent end up in profit,
    but those who hurry end up with loss.
6 Those who gain treasure with lies
    are like a drifting fog, leading to death.

Proverbs 21:4-6
New International Version

4 Haughty eyes(A) and a proud heart—
    the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin.

5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit(B)
    as surely as haste leads to poverty.

6 A fortune made by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.[a](C)
