28 Righteousness is the road to life; wickedness is the road to death.

Proverbs 12:28 In-Context

26 The righteous person is a guide to his friend, but the path of the wicked leads them astray.
27 If you are lazy, you will never get what you are after, but if you work hard, you will get a fortune.
