The plans of the diligent lead only to profit; all haste leads only to want.
In context
3To do righteousness and justice is chosen by Yahweh above sacrifice. 4Haughty eyes and a swollen heart—the lamp of the wicked is sin. 5The plans of the diligent lead only to profit; all haste leads only to want. 6Making a fortune with a lying tongue is a breath blown away—and a hunt for death. 7The violence of the wicked drags them off, because they refuse to do justice.
