Proverbs 10:2

World English Bible

²Treasures of wickedness profit nothing,
but righteousness delivers from death.

Proverbs 10:2

New Living Translation

²Tainted wealth has no lasting value,
but right living can save your life.

¹¹Wealth gained dishonestly dwindles away,
but he who gathers by hand makes it grow.

¹¹Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears;
wealth from hard work grows over time.

¹⁷Fraudulent food is sweet to a man,
but afterwards his mouth is filled with gravel.

¹⁷Stolen bread tastes sweet,
but it turns to gravel in the mouth.

²¹An inheritance quickly gained at the beginning,
won’t be blessed in the end.

²¹An inheritance obtained too early in life
is not a blessing in the end.
