Proverbs 21:4-6
New American Standard Bible
4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart,
The (A)lamp of the wicked, is sin.
5 The plans of the (B)diligent certainly lead to advantage,
But everyone (C)who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty.
6 The (D)acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a fleeting vapor, the [a]pursuit of (E)death.
