Proverbs 21:5-7
New Living Translation
5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,
but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
6 Wealth created by a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap.[a]
7 The violence of the wicked sweeps them away,
because they refuse to do what is just.
Footnotes
- 21:6 As in Greek version; Hebrew reads mist for those who seek death.
