Proverbs 21:3-8 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. To do what is right and justis more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.

4. Haughty eyes and a proud heart—the lamp of the wicked will fail.

5. The plans of the diligent end in profit,but those of the hasty end in loss.

6. Trying to get rich by lyingis chasing a bubble over deadly snares.

7. The violence of the wicked will sweep them away,because they refuse to do what is right.

8. One’s path may be winding and unfamiliar,but one’s conduct is blameless and right.
