Proverbs 21:5-7
Legacy Standard Bible
5 The [a]thoughts of the (A)diligent lead surely to profit,
But everyone (B)who is hasty comes surely to poverty.
6 (C)Working for treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting breath, by those who pursue (D)death.
7 The destruction of the wicked will drag them away,
Because they (E)refuse to do justice.
