“Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.”
Proverbs 10:2 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 10:2
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing, but righteousness delivers from death. Ill-gotten gain provides no lasting benefit - what's gained unrighteously cannot truly profit. In contrast, righteousness delivers from death - both temporal consequences and eternal judgment. This verse refutes pragmatic immorality, insisting that wrong means can never produce right ends. Only righteousness, ultimately found in Christ, saves from death.
