17 A man who is kind benefits himself, but a cruel man hurts himself.
18 The wicked earns deceptive wages, but one who sows righteousness gets a sure reward.
19 Whoever is steadfast in righteousness will live, but he who pursues evil will die.
The practical benefits of wisdom and righteousness have yet to be described so clearly. Goodness results in the return of goodness and visa versa. Though wickedness can have what appear to be rewards, they are nothing compared to what is offered, life.
