The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance,
but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.

The plans of the diligent certainly lead to profit,
but anyone who is reckless certainly becomes poor.
Making a fortune through a lying tongue
is a vanishing mist, a pursuit of death.

Good planning and hard work lead to prosperity,

The plans of the diligent only lead to abundance,

The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness;
But of every one that is hasty only to want.
The getting of treasures by a lying tongue
Is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death.
