Biblically, "life" often refers to a state of blessing, prosperity, and eternal life. In the context of Proverbs, it suggests that righteous living aligns with God's wisdom, leading to a fulfilling and meaningful existence. This is echoed in <a href="/psalms/1-3.htm">Psalm 1:3</a>, where the righteous are likened to a tree planted by streams of water, yielding fruit in season. The concept of labor here is not just physical work but encompasses all actions and decisions made in accordance with God's will. Historically, the Israelites understood that obedience to God's commandments brought blessings, as seen in <a href="/deuteronomy/28.htm">Deuteronomy 28</a>. This phrase also foreshadows the New Testament teaching that faith without works is dead (<a href="/james/2-26.htm">James 2:26</a>), highlighting the importance of righteous actions as evidence of genuine faith.<p><b>but the gain of the wicked brings punishment</b><br>In contrast, this phrase warns that the profits or benefits obtained through wickedness ultimately lead to punishment. The term "gain" implies that the wicked may experience temporary success or prosperity, but it is fleeting and ultimately results in negative consequences. This reflects the biblical principle of sowing and reaping, as seen in <a href="/galatians/6-7.htm">Galatians 6:7-8</a>, where those who sow to please their sinful nature will reap destruction. The historical context of ancient Israel included a strong belief in divine justice, where God would eventually punish the wicked, as illustrated in the stories of figures like Achan (Joshua 7) and Haman (Esther 7). Culturally, this understanding reinforced the community's commitment to righteousness and deterred individuals from engaging in sinful behavior. Theologically, this phrase underscores the ultimate justice of God, who will judge the wicked, as seen in <a href="/revelation/20-12.htm">Revelation 20:12-15</a>. It also points to the necessity of repentance and redemption through Christ, who bore the punishment for sin, offering life to those who believe in Him.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/r/righteous.htm">Righteous</a></b><br>In the context of Proverbs, the "righteous" refers to those who live in accordance with God's laws and principles. They are characterized by integrity, honesty, and a commitment to doing what is right in the eyes of the Lord.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/w/wicked.htm">Wicked</a></b><br>The "wicked" are those who live contrary to God's commands.
