Proverbs 21:5-7

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁵ The plans of the ^(A)diligent lead surely to advantage,
But everyone ^(B)who is hasty comes surely 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 drag them away,
Because they ^(E)refuse to act with justice.
