Proverbs 21:5

5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to want.

Proverbs 21:5 In-Context

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.
5 The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to want.
6 The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
7 The violence of the wicked will sweep them away, because they refuse to do what is just.
