Proverbs 21:4-6
Names of God Bible

4 A conceited look and an arrogant attitude,
    which are the lamps of wicked people, are sins.

5 The plans of a hard-working person lead to prosperity,
    but everyone who is always in a hurry ends up in poverty.
6 Those who gather wealth by lying are wasting time.
    They are looking for death.

Proverbs 21:4-6
New International Version

4 Haughty eyes(A) and a proud heart—
    the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin.

5 The plans of the diligent lead to profit(B)
    as surely as haste leads to poverty.

6 A fortune made by a lying tongue
    is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.[a](C)
