Proverbs 21:5-7
New International Version - UK

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]

7 The violence of the wicked will drag them away,
    for they refuse to do what is right.
