Proverbs 21:4

2 All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.

3 To do righteousness and justice is more desirable to the LORD than sacrifice.

Haughty eyes and a proud heart— the guides of the wicked—are sin.

5 The plans of the diligent bring plenty, as surely as haste leads to poverty.

6 Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.
