Contemporary English Version
Proverbs 21:5-7
Contemporary English Version
5 If you plan and work hard,
you will have plenty;
if you hurry to get rich,
you will end up poor.
6 Cheating to get rich
is a foolish dream
and no less than suicide.[a]
7 You destroy yourself
by being cruel and violent
and refusing to live right.
