The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, But everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995)
The plans of a hard-working person lead to prosperity, but everyone who is always in a hurry ends up in poverty. King James Bible

Abundance Acting Advantage Diligent Haste Hasteth Hasty Industry Lead Outcome Over-Quick Plans Plenteousness Poverty Profit Purposes Rushes Surely Tend Thoughts Want Wealth Matthew Henry's Whole Bible Commentary Verse 5 Here is, 1. The way to be rich. If we would live plentifully and comfortably in the world, we must be diligent in our business, and not shrink from the toil and trouble of it, but prosecute it closely, improving all advantages and opportunities for it, and doing what we do with all our might; yet we must not be hasty in it, nor hurry ourselves and others with it, but keep doing fair and softly, which, we say, goes far in a day. With diligence there must be contrivance. The thoughts of the diligent are as necessary as the hand of the diligent. Forecast is as good as work. Seest thou a man thus prudent and diligent? He will have enough to live on. 2. The way to be poor. Those that are hasty, that are rash and inconsiderate in their affairs, and will not take time to think, that are greedy of gain, by right or wrong, and make haste to be rich by unjust practices or unwise projects, are in the ready road to poverty. Their thoughts and contrivances, by which they hope to raise themselves, will ruin them.
