5 Trust in the LORD with all your
heart,
and do not lean on your own
understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge
him,
and he will make straight your
paths.
7 Be not wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD, and turn away
from evil.
8 It will be healing to your flesh
and refreshment to your
bones.

11 and poverty will come upon you
like a robber,
and want like an armed man.

while the soul of the diligent is
