Proverbs 21:4-6
New International Version - UK

4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart –
    the unploughed field of the wicked – produce sin.

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

6 A fortune made by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapour and a deadly snare.[a]
