“Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.”
Proverbs 21:6 (BSB)
Context Reading
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. 8The way of a guilty man is crooked, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
