11 Dishonest money dwindles away, but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.
11 Wealth gained hastily
11 Easy come, easy go, but steady diligence pays off.
11 Wealth gained by dishonesty will be diminished, But he who gathers by labor will increase.
11 Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Proverbs 13:11
Commentary on Proverbs 13:11
(Read Proverbs 13:11)
Wealth gotten by dishonesty or vice, has a secret curse, which will speedily waste it.
