Proverbs 11:18–19

The wicked earns deceptive wages,

but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.

Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live,

but he who pursues evil will die.

A wicked person earns deceptive wages,

but the one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward.

Truly the righteous attain life,

but whoever pursues evil finds death.

The wicked person earns an empty wage,

but the one who sows righteousness, a true reward.

Genuine righteousness leads to life,

but pursuing evil leads to death.

Evil people get rich for the moment,

but the reward of the godly will last.

Godly people find life;

evil people find death.

The wicked earns deceptive gain,

but he who sows righteousness, a true reward.

He who is steadfast in righteousness is to life

as he who pursues evil is to death.

The wicked worketh a deceitful work:

But to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward.

As righteousness tendeth to life:

So he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.
