On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Ingenuity will be no excuse for iniquity, but the sinner must either repent or do worse, either rue it or be ruined by it. Public, silly, self-exposing sinners: A prating fool, whose sins go before unto judgment, shall fall, as was said before,

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

The industry of the righteous is alone truly successful, while the earnings of the wicked tempt and lead to sin.

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

The labour - The fruit of his labour, to the preservation of this life, and obtaining eternal life. Fruit - The fruit of all their labour tends to sin, and serves only for fuel to mens pride and luxury.

John Wesley (NT Notes)· Explanatory Notes upon the Bible, 1765evangelical
