New International Version (NIV)

11Dishonest money dwindles away,

but whoever gathers money little by little makes it grow.

11Wealth obtained from nothing dwindles,

But one who gathers by labor increases it.

11Wealth obtained by fraud dwindles,

But he who gathers gradually by [honest] labor will increase [his riches].

11Dishonest wealth will dwindle,

but what is earned through hard work will be multiplied.

11Wealth gotten by vanity shall be diminished;

But he that gathereth by labor shall have increase.

11The riches of vanitie shall diminish: but he that gathereth with the hand, shall increase them.

11Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,

but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

11Money gained in the wrong way disappears.

But money gathered little by little grows.

11If you try to get money quickly,

you will not stay rich for long.

But if you are patient,

you will become rich little by little.

11Wealth from vanity becomes little, || And whoever is gathering by the hand becomes great.
