Proverbs 21:5-7
New American Standard Bible
5 The plans of the (A)diligent certainly lead to advantage,
But everyone (B)who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty.
6 The (C)acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the [a]pursuit of (D)death.
7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,
Because they (E)refuse to act with justice.
