Proverbs 21:5 in Context — Proverbs 21
3 Praticar justiça e juízo é mais aceitável ao SENHOR do que sacrifício.
4 Olhos orgulhosos e coração arrogante: a lavoura dos perversos é pecado.
5 Os planos de quem trabalha com empenho somente [levam] à abundância; mas [os de] todo apressado somente à pobreza.
6 Trabalhar [para obter] tesouros com língua mentirosa é algo inútil [e] fácil de se perder; os que [assim fazem] buscam a morte.
7 A violência [praticada] pelos perversos os destruirá, porque se negam a fazer o que é justo.
