Proverbs 10:2
Ill-gotten treasures profit nothing, but righteousness brings deliverance from death.
BSB
ASV
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing; But righteousness delivereth from death.
KJV
Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death.
Righteousness delivers from death, that is, wealth gained, and kept, and used, in a right manner (righteousness signifies both honesty and charity); it answers the end of wealth, which is to keep us alive and be a defence to us. It will deliver from those judgments which men bring upon themselves by their wickedness.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
