“The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty.”
Proverbs 21:5 (WEB)
Context Reading
3To do righteousness and justiceis more acceptable to Yahweh than sacrifice. 4A high look and a proud heart,the lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent surely lead to profit;and everyone who is hasty surely rushes to poverty. 6Getting treasures by a lying tongueis a fleeting vapor for those who seek death. 7The violence of the wicked will drive them away,because they refuse to do what is right.
