Proverbs 10:16 Good people are rewarded with life, but evil people are paid with punishment. The wage of a good person is exuberant life; an evil person ends up with nothing but sin. The wages of the righteous is life, The income of the wicked, punishment. The earnings of the godly enhance their lives, but evil people squander their money on sin. The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin. The labor of the righteous tendeth to life; The increase of the wicked, to sin. The wages of the righteous is life, but the earnings of the wicked are sin and death. The wages of the righteous [the upright, those in right standing with God] is [a worthwhile, meaningful] life, The income of the wicked, punishment. The lovers of God earn their wages for a life of righteousness, but the wages of the wicked are squandered on a life of sin. The wage of the righteous leads to life, the gain of the wicked to sin.
