King Solomon, the son of King David (1000 B.C.) of ancient Israel taught that diligence is a character trait that pays off. If you know several people who are self-made millionaires, you know that this saying is a tendency among self-made wealthy Americans.
Note the term 'precious'. In the bible, some wealth is not blessed, and some is blessed. A key to blessing in your life is to cultivate the character necessary to sustain and manage God's gifts to you, including 'precious' wealth.
Here is the actual saying in English, French and Spanish.
ESV Proverbs 12:27 Whoever is slothful will not roast his game, but the diligent man will get precious wealth.
NEG Proverbs 12:27 Le paresseux ne rôtit pas son gibier; Mais le précieux trésor d'un homme, c'est l'activité.
NVI Proverbs 12:27 El perezoso no atrapa presa, pero el diligente ya posee una gran riqueza.
