Proverbs 21:4-8
New American Standard Bible

Chapter 21

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. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, Because they refuse to act with justice. 8The way of a guilty person is crooked, But as for the pure, his conduct is upright.
King James Version

Chapter 21

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.
7The robbery of the wicked shall destroy them; because they refuse to do judgment.
8The way of man is froward and strange: but as for the pure, his work is right.
Christian Standard Bible

Chapter 21

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.
7The violence of the wicked sweeps them away because they refuse to act justly.
8A guilty one’s conduct is crooked, but the behavior of the innocent is upright.
New Living Translation

Chapter 21

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.
7The violence of the wicked sweeps them away, because they refuse to do what is just.
8The guilty walk a crooked path; the innocent travel a straight road.
English Standard Version

Chapter 21

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. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just. 8The way of the guilty is crooked, but the conduct of the pure is upright.
New International Version

Chapter 21

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.
7The violence of the wicked will drag them away, for they refuse to do what is right.
8The way of the guilty is devious, but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
New King James Version

Chapter 21

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. 7The violence of the wicked will destroy them, Because they refuse to do justice. 8The way of a guilty man is perverse; But as for the pure, his work is right.
