Proverbs 13:11

Proverbs 13:11 New International Version (NIV)

Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase.

Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.

Easy come, easy go, but steady diligence pays off.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished: But he that gathereth by labour shall increase.

Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, But the one who gathers by labor increases it.

Money that comes easily disappears quickly, but money that is gathered little by little will grow.

Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished; But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.

Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles, But he who gathers gradually by [honest] labor will increase [his riches].

Wealth quickly gained is quickly wasted — easy come, easy go! But if you gradually gain wealth, you will watch it grow.

Wealth gained hastily will dwindle, but whoever gathers little by little will increase it.
