Verse 6 says, "The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a fleeting vapor and a snare of death."
It may seem like a good idea at the time to be dishonest just to get ahead. You might even get ahead for a while, but it will be short-lived. There is no satisfaction in winning by cheating, or by earning your way through life dishonestly.
Also, it will not last. Eventually you will get caught and punished.
There is no lasting value in living in a dishonest manner.
Many people try to get by with a dishonest life, and it ends in ruin, perhaps with them ending up friendless and in jail. On the other hand, honest gain is lasting gain.
