Proverbs 21:5-9 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

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

6. The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.

7. The violence of the wicked will drag them away, Because they refuse to act with justice.

8. The way of a guilty man is crooked, But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.

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