The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness: But every one that is hasty hasteth only to want.
He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: But the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: But the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
He that is slow to anger is of great understanding: But he that is hasty of spirit exalteth folly.
Also, that the soul be without knowledge is not good; And he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
An inheritance may be gotten hastily at the beginning; But the end thereof shall not be blessed.
He that hath an evil eye hasteth after riches, And knoweth not that want shall come upon him.
Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him.
Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing that is good, that he may have whereof to give to him that hath need.
