New Testament

Proverbs 21:5-10 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

5. The plans of the hard worker lead only to plenty, But all rash haste only to poverty.

6. Gaining treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapour, heading for death.

7. The spoil of the wrong catches them, Because they refused to do right- ruling.

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

9. It is better to dwell in a corner of a roof, Than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

10. The desire of the wrong is set upon evil; His neighbour finds no favour in his eyes.
