“The labor of the righteous leads to life.The increase of the wicked leads to sin.”
Proverbs 10:16 (WEB)
Context Reading
14Wise men lay up knowledge,but the mouth of the foolish is near ruin. 15The rich man’s wealth is his strong city.The destruction of the poor is their poverty. 16The labor of the righteous leads to life.The increase of the wicked leads to sin. 17He is in the way of life who heeds correction,but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 18He who hides hatred has lying lips.He who utters a slander is a fool.
