Proverbs 11:19

¹⁶The labor of the righteous leads to life. The increase of the wicked leads to sin.

²³The fear of the LORD leads to life, then contentment; he rests and will not be touched by trouble.

⁸but to those who are self-seeking and don’t obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, will be wrath, indignation, ⁹oppression, and anguish on every soul of man who does evil, to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.

²⁸In the way of righteousness is life; in its path there is no death.

³⁶But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.”

²²He followed her immediately, as an ox goes to the slaughter, as a fool stepping into a noose. ²³Until an arrow strikes through his liver, as a bird hurries to the snare, and doesn’t know that it will cost his life.

¹⁶for their feet run to evil. They hurry to shed blood. ¹⁷For the net is spread in vain in the sight of any bird; ¹⁸but these lay in wait for their own blood. They lurk secretly for their own lives. ¹⁹So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.

⁷Little children, let no one lead you astray. He who does righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.

²³For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

³⁵but in every nation he who fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.
