Proverbs 21:7 BBE

⁵  The purposes of the man of industry have their outcome only in wealth; but one who is over-quick in acting will only come to be in need.

⁶  He who gets stores of wealth by a false tongue, is going after what is only breath, and searching for death.

⁷  By their violent acts the evil-doers will be pulled away, because they have no desire to do what is right.

⁸  Twisted is the way of him who is full of crime; but as for him whose heart is clean, his work is upright.

⁹  It is better to be living in an angle of the house-top, than with a bitter-tongued woman in a wide house.
