Proverbs 21:5 (ESV) The plans of the diligent lead surely to abundance, but everyone who is hasty comes only to poverty. Pr 21:20 (KJV) There is treasure to be desired and oil in the dwelling of the wise; but a foolish man spendeth it up. Ecclesiastes 11:2 (YLT) Give a portion to seven, and even to eight, For thou knowest not what evil is on the earth. Ecclesiastes 11:4-6 (ESV) He who observes the wind will not sow, and he who regards the clouds will not reap. As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb? of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good. Proverbs 6:6 (YLT) Go unto the ant, O slothful one, See her ways and be wise; Which hath not captain, overseer, and ruler, She doth prepare in summer her bread, She hath gathered in harvest her food. |
