The thoughts of the diligent tend only to plenteousness; but of every one that is hasty only to want.

Verse 5 is found in chapter 21 of Proverbs. The king’s heart is in the hand of the Lord, an affirmation of divine sovereignty applied directly to political power. At the same time, God values justice and righteousness above ritual sacrifices offered without obedience. The way of the guilty is crooked, while the righteous act uprightly. The section refuses to separate worship from ethics: religious practices do not replace justice.

Die Anschläge eines Emsigen bringen Überfluß; wer aber allzu jach ist, dem wird's mangeln.
Los pensamientos del solícito ciertamente van a abundancia; Mas todo presuroso, indefectiblemente a pobreza.
Les projets de l'homme diligent ne mènent qu'à l'abondance, Mais celui qui agit avec précipitation n'arrive qu'à la disette.
I pensieri dell’uomo diligente producono di certo abbondanza; Ma l’uomo disavveduto cade senza fallo in necessità
Os pensamentos do diligente tendem só para a abundância, porém os de todo apressado, tão-somente para a pobreza.
殷勤籌劃的,足致豐裕; 行事急躁的,必致缺乏。
