Proverbs 10:16 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 10:16
The labor of the righteous tends to life, the fruit of the wicked to sin. Righteous work produces life-giving outcomes; wicked activity produces more sin. This verse presents a moral feedback loop - righteousness breeds more righteousness and life, wickedness breeds more wickedness and death. The principle applies both individually and socially - patterns of righteousness or wickedness become self-reinforcing.
