Proverbs 21:4-6
Modern English Version
4 A high look, a proud heart,
and the plowing of the wicked are sin.
5 The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenty,
but of everyone who is hasty only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a vanity tossed back and forth by those who seek 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.
