Proverbs 10:16 - Exposition

Tendeth to life ( Proverbs 11:19 ). Honest labour brings its own reward in the blessing of God and a long and peaceful life. The fruit of the wicked. All the profit that the wicked make they use in the service of sin, which tends only to death ( Romans 6:21 ). The due reward of honourable industry is contrasted with the gains obtained by any means, discreditable or not.
