Proverbs 21:3-5

New International Reader's Version

³ Do what is right and fair.
    The Lord accepts that more than sacrifices.

⁴ The proud eyes and hearts of sinful people are like a field not plowed.
    Those things produce nothing good.

⁵ The plans of people who work hard succeed.
    You can be just as sure that those in a hurry will become poor.
