Wasted Gains Proverbs 12:27 I. By toil, by tears, by sharing in the toil and tears of others, our life is rich in gains. Trophies have fallen to our bow, and to the bow of the nation with which we are one, and to the bow of the Gospel we believe; and we have never roasted what we took in hunting.

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Proverbs 12:28
life: i.e. life eternal. See note on Leviticus 18:5 . no death = immortality. Or take nethebah (as in Judges 5:6 . Isaiah 59:8 ) as denoting, with derek, no devious winding by-path. In this case we must read 'el, "to", instead of 'al, "no". This avoids the necessity of the italics. read more
