Proverbs 21:5-7
Christian Standard Bible

5 The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit,
but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor.(A)

6 Making a fortune through a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist,[a] a pursuit of death.[b][c](B)

7 The violence of the wicked sweeps them away
because they refuse to act justly.
