The reward which the righteous receive is life; the recompense which the wicked receive is judgment.
True righteousness leads to life, but the one who pursues evil pursues it to his own death.
The one who heeds instruction is on the way to life, but the one who rejects rebuke goes astray.
Fearing the Lord leads to life, and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.
