“The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5 (BSB)
Context Reading
3To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice. 4Haughty eyes and a proud heart — the guides of the wicked — are sin. 5The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty. 6Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away because they refuse to do what is just.
