Proverbs 21:5

← Proverbs 21:4	Proverbs 21:5 (KJV)	Proverbs 21:6 →
An high look, and a proud heart, [and] the plowing of the wicked, [is] sin.	The thoughts of the diligent [tend] only to plenteousness; but of every one [that is] hasty only to want.	The getting of treasures by a lying tongue [is] a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
