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.

Ang Pulong Sa Dios
5 Kon magplano ka ug maayo ug magmakugihon, sigurado nga mouswag ka. Apan kon magdali-dali ka, sigurado nga mapobre ka.
6 Ang bahandi nga nakuha sa pagpanglimbong dali rang mawala, ug maghatod kini sa tawo ngadto sa kamatayon.
7 Ang kabangis sa mga daotan mao ang makapalaglag kanila, kay nagdumili sila sa pagbuhat sa matarong.
