Proverbs 10:16 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

The labour of the righteous tendeth to life The design of his labour is only this, that he may have wherewith to live honestly, without making use of any sinful shifts. Or rather, the fruit or effect of his labour and industry is the preservation of this life, and the obtaining of eternal life, to which an honest and conscientious diligence in a man's calling greatly contributes. The fruit of the wicked The fruit of all their labours and endeavours; to sin Tendeth to sin, serves only for fuel to feed their pride, luxury, and worldly-mindedness, and by that means often causes, or, at least, hastens temporal death, and always, without repentance, issues in eternal death.
