Proverbs 21:4-6
International Children’s Bible
4 Proud looks, proud thoughts
and evil actions are sin.
5 Those who plan and work hard earn a profit.
But those who act too quickly become poor.
6 Wealth that comes from telling lies
vanishes like a mist and leads to 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.
