New Testament

Proverbs 21:4-8 New King James Version (NKJV)

4. A haughty look, a proud heart,And the plowing of the wicked are sin.

5. The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty,But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty.

6. Getting treasures by a lying tongueIs the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.

7. The violence of the wicked will destroy them,Because they refuse to do justice.

8. The way of a guilty man is perverse;But as for the pure, his work is right.
