Proverbs 21:5-7
New Living Translation

5 Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,
    but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.

6 Wealth created by a lying tongue
    is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap.[a]

7 The violence of the wicked sweeps them away,
    because they refuse to do what is just.
