Proverbs 21:6
Berean Standard Bible
Making a fortune by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit.
Context
4Haughty eyes and a proud heart—
the guides of the wicked—are sin. 5The plans of the diligent bring plenty,
as surely as haste leads to poverty. 6Making a fortune by a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist, a deadly pursuit. 7The violence of the wicked will sweep them away
because they refuse to do what is just. 8The way of a guilty man is crooked,
but the conduct of the innocent is upright.
