“As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.”
Proverbs 11:19 (KJV)
Commentary on Proverbs 11:19
As righteousness tends to life, so he that pursues evil pursues it to his own death. This verse presents two trajectories - righteousness toward life, evil toward death. Each path leads inexorably to its destination. Pursuing evil isn't neutral activity with risky outcomes but active pursuit of one's own death. The verse exposes the suicidal nature of sin - evil doesn't merely risk death but actively pursues it.
