Proverbs 21:6 A fortune made by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a deadly snare. You can make a fortune dishonestly, but your crime will hold you in the snares of death! Acquiring treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the seeking and pursuit of death. Make it to the top by lying and cheating; get paid with smoke and a promotion—to death! The acquisition of treasures by a lying tongue Is a fleeting vapor, the pursuit of death. Wealth created by a lying tongue is a vanishing mist and a deadly trap. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. Wealth that comes from telling lies vanishes like a mist and leads to death. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue Is a vapor driven to and fro by them that seek death. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death.
