Proverbs 12:28
In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
In context
25 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: But a good word maketh it glad. 26 The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: But the way of the wicked seduceth them. 27 The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: But the substance of a diligent man is precious. 28 In the way of righteousness is life; And in the pathway thereof there is no death.
