Proverbs 21:4-6
The Voice
4 The lamp of the wicked lights his way;
a proud look, an arrogant heart—all sin.
5 A well-thought-out plan will work to your advantage,
but hasty actions will cost you dearly.
6 The fortune made by a swindler
is a fast-burning fog and a recipe 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.
