Proverbs 21:2-6
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

2Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord examines the hearts. 3To do righteousness and justice Is preferred by the Lord more than sacrifice. 4Haughty eyes and a proud heart, The lamp of the wicked, is sin. 5The plans of the diligent certainly lead to advantage, But everyone who is in a hurry certainly comes to poverty. 6The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death.
King James Version

Chapter 21

2Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the Lord pondereth the hearts.
3To do justice and judgment is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.
5The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.
6The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 21

2All a person’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs hearts.
3Doing what is righteous and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4The lamp that guides the wicked— haughty eyes and an arrogant heart —is sin.
5The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit, but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor.
6Making a fortune through a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

2People may be right in their own eyes, but the Lord examines their heart.
3The Lord is more pleased when we do what is right and just than when we offer him sacrifices.
4Haughty eyes, a proud heart, and evil actions are all sin.
5Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity, but hasty shortcuts lead to poverty.
6Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap.
English Standard Version

Chapter 21

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the heart. 3 To do righteousness and justice is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 4 Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin. 5The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. 6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
New International Version

Chapter 21

2A person may think their own ways are right, but the Lord weighs the heart.
3To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.
4Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the unplowed field of the wicked—produce sin.
5The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty.
6A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare.
New King James Version

Chapter 21

2 Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts. 3 To do righteousness and justice Is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice. 4 A haughty look, a proud heart, And the plowing of the wicked are sin. 5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to plenty, But those of everyone who is hasty, surely to poverty. 6 Getting treasures by a lying tongue Is the fleeting fantasy of those who seek death.
