[10:2] 1 tn Heb “treasures of wickedness” (so KJV, ASV); NASB “Ill-gotten gains”; TEV “Wealth that you get by dishonesty.”
[10:2] 2 sn The term “righteousness” here means honesty (cf. TEV). Wealth has limited value even if gained honestly; but honesty delivers from mortal danger.
[10:2] 3 tn Heb “death.” This could refer to literal death, but it is probably figurative here for mortal danger or ruin.
